Exit Review Committee (ERC) update

The ERC, which has been meeting on a weekly basis since its formation in January 2024, reported that a positive and harmonious group dynamic has been established and that the group has focused on studying the Exit Review Policy which was drafted a few years ago but which was never approved by the RA. This policy is a refinement of the Auroville (Admission and Termination in the Register of Residents’ Regulations) 2020. That year, the community process for the final ratification of the Exit Review Policy was interrupted by the Covid pandemic and the last steps of holding a General Meeting and a subsequent RAD on the subject could not be done. The ERC is now ready to move forward with the ratification process. It awaits the final judgement from the Madras High Court on the validity of the Auroville (Admission and Termination in the Register of Residents) Regulations 2023, which the Court had already stayed in February this year. A General Meeting on the subject will then be announced soon.
