Annapurna farm support

Since the news that the AVFO has signed an MoU with IIT Madras, agreeing to hand over 100 acres of Auroville’s certified organic farmland in order to build a ‘sustainability campus’, support for Annapurna Farm has poured in from many different quarters. The number of signatures on the petition currently stands at more than 16,000 and is growing daily.

Several letters have been sent to the Governing Board questioning the plan, including letters from Auroville International and the International Advisory Council. Ramsubramanian, a senior consultant at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, also shared supportive posts on his social media.
