More Residents’ Assembly (RA) appointed groups abolished or replaced

Meanwhile, more RA-appointed groups have either been abolished or replaced by nominees by the Foundation Office. The Archives team has been replaced, with the exception of one executive, the Budget Coordination Group has been replaced by the Budget Coordination Service, and Auroville Media Liaison Services has been shut down.

Other RA-appointed groups have had their ability to function seriously curtailed. The FAMC lost their office on the first floor of Town Hall, The Entry Service can no longer access its data from the domain auroville.org.in, and the Auroville email address of the Residents Assembly Service has also been disabled. At the same time, a number of Aurovilians have been prevented from posting or accessing Auronet, without any explanation as to why.

However, these affected groups have established new ways to communicate with the community and continue their work.
