Economic relief

The Budget Coordination Group (BCC) has announced that self-supporting units, services and guesthouses can apply for economic relief grants to cover their fixed costs such as salaries, rent, electricity, internet and accounting charges. This is the second time that the BCC is allocating funds in support of Auroville units which have been impacted by the economic crisis brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The BCC also allocates temporary emergency maintenances to those units and services whose economic situation makes it challenging to continue to provide Aurovilian maintenances.

The funds for providing economic relief have all been donated to Auroville.
