Deviation from the Auroville Master Plan (Perspective 2025)

The RA-TDC informed the community that on 27 January it had sent a letter to high government officials addressing ongoing concerns about non-compliance by the GB-ATDC and the Central Public Works Department which executes the road building in accordance with the Auroville Master Plan (Perspective 2025). Key issues highlighted include violations of the Auroville Foundation Act, lack of updated development plans, poor environmental planning, irregularities in road construction, and significant financial and ecological losses. The letter calls for an immediate halt to projects, a review of the Master Plan, adherence to participatory governance, and environmental clearances to safeguard Auroville's principles and ecological integrity.
