Developing Sri Ma

 
The Housing Board has informed the community that it believes that the development of Sri Ma as a beach resort, a large-scale income generating unit with a 50-rooms guest facility, is not developing as planned. The value of the land is 17.5 crores and the housing assets close to 1.5 crore. The Housing Board is concerned that Sri Ma serve the community in its greatest priority of the moment which is income generation for both Aurovilian maintenances and the creation of housing assets. Moreover, since Repos Beach’s recreational resort function has disappeared, more Aurovilians are using Sri Ma for their Sunday outings. The Housing Board has asked for community feedback on the issue.
