Minutes Governing Board meetings 2023 published

More than two months after the Central Information Commissioner, an appeal authority under the Right to Information Act, reprimanded the Public Information Officer of the Auroville Foundation for not responding to Right for Information requests and not publishing the minutes of meetings of the Governing Board, the AVFO has published on its website the minutes of the GB’s 63rd, 64th and 65th meetings, held on February 16th, August 9th and December 12th 2023 respectively. The agendas for these meetings were not shared with the Residents’ Assembly; the GB has also not sought the advice of the Residents’ Assembly on topics relating to the residents of Auroville, as stated in the Auroville Foundation Act. We publish here some of the important decisions taken by the Board. To read the full minutes visit https://aurovillefoundation.org.in/publications/governing-board-meeting-minutes/
