Road works

For many years, Auroviians and guests have suffered from Auroville’s dusty roads. This will now change. The Neyveli Lignite Corporation has made a donation to the value of Rs 1.1 crore from its Corporate Social Responsibility funds for making the access road in front of the Visitors’ Centre. The donation includes Neyveli paving the road with paver blocks, as well as the service road to the back entrance of the Visitors’ Centre, the pathway from the parking area to the Visitors’ Centre and a bus bay.

The Auroville Road Service has started paving the road from the Solar Kitchen to the Kindergarten, also with paver blocks.

The dirt road from the Certitude corner to the Solar Kitchen roundabout will be stabilized by the Road Service, using the poured earth concrete technology developed by the Auroville Earth Institute.

All works are scheduled to be ready before the visit of the Prime Minister in February 2018.
