69th Governing Board meet

Residents learned from an article in the Deccan Chronicle that the Governing Board met on 8 July to review major developments since June 2024 and passed several key resolutions regarding infrastructure, education, administration and governance. This included approval of the first phase of the Line of Progress – comprising a 1,000 bed complex for 380 residents to be funded under the Higher Education Financing Agency. A 100 bed accommodation facility for volunteers was also sanctioned.

Also, a partnership with NBCC (India) was approved for constructing a residential-cum-retail project outside the Master Plan area, aimed at well-wishers and supporters, and a proposal for establishing the Sri Aurobindo Integral Multiversity – a 1,000 student university – was submitted for inclusion under HEFA. The Board ratified the code of conduct for business units and the framework for functioning of the Residents Assembly 2025, and an elders committee was also approved to “preserve Auroville’s founding spirit”.
