Auroville International (AVI) Board clarification

The Chairman of the AVI Board made a statement clarifying that the Board is not against the development of the City, nor even against the construction of the Crown Road. However, “it believes in a respectful and collaborative approach, which is apparently supported by the majority of the community”. AVI groups will continue to fundraise for Auroville projects and to provide support and encouragement for those interested to visit and to join the community, despite the difficulties which many Aurovilians are facing at the present time. The Board is happy to support any initiative involving dialogue and collaboration between all sections of the Auroville community.
