In December 2024, after a brief period away, Dr. Ravi was reappointed as Secretary for a one-year term, extending and intensifying the ongoing crisis.<\/p><p>Until 2021, everything that has been achieved in Auroville over five decades was organised by its residents, including the selection of internal committee members, the establishment of collective community decision-making processes and methods of development and progress, all whilst maintaining a collective unity. The AVFO\u2019s top-down authoritarian approach to decision-making is contrary to the Auroville Foundation Act (1988), to the collective spirit envisaged by the community\u2019s founder, and goes against the values and principles of freedom to experiment and self-organise around which Auroville was created.<\/p><p><strong>Voici un bref r\u00e9sum\u00e9 des questions qui se posent

class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>There has been a systematic takeover by the AVFO of all of Auroville\u2019s major internal working groups and committees that manage the key areas of administration, media, and finances, resulting in the concentration of power in a handful of people who were not appointed by the residents and who do not represent the needs and aspirations of the majority.<\/p><p>In 2024-2025, this concentration of power intensified further as several residents who had previously supported the AVFO distanced themselves from their roles, leaving authority increasingly concentrated among an even smaller circle of appointees. In some instances, individuals now hold multiple critical roles, such as simultaneously serving as &#8220;Head of Urban Planning,&#8221; &#8220;Media Content Vetter,&#8221; and &#8220;Legal Coordinator.&#8221;<\/p><p>New decisions are being taken behind closed doors without any consultation and are imposed along with threats to the livelihood of residents. In late 2024, the AVFO introduced a new &#8220;Code of Conduct&#8221; and residence criteria that attempt to control even the most basic aspects of residents&#8217; lives, requiring Aurovilians to request approval for absences exceeding two weeks and obtain permission from a newly formed &#8220;Human Resources Service&#8221; to host guests beyond seven days, including spouses, elderly parents, and minor children. Those who do not toe the line are blackmailed, intimidated, dismissed from their positions, and sometimes even expelled from Auroville.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-134f68f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"134f68f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">R\u00e9duire au silence l'Assembl\u00e9e des R\u00e9sidents<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-770f522 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"770f522\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">There is a complete disregard for the decisions made by the Residents&#8217; Assembly, normally in charge of organizing all day-to-day activities in Auroville. Residents&#8217; Assembly Decisions to stop these takeover actions were completely ignored, despite over 90% of residents who voted clearly and strongly expressing their call for correct planning and development processes.<\/p><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">In June 2024, 98% of 945 residents voted to halt, review, and reverse land deals undertaken by the Secretary, yet these concerns were dismissed and more land exchanges were approved by the Governing Board in October 2024.<\/p><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">The Secretary to the Governing Board claims that the Governing Board holds &#8220;the supreme authority of Auroville,&#8221; and appointees have implied that residents should simply follow orders or leave \u2013 before they get expelled. In 2024, the Governing Board revealed its intention to &#8220;amend certain provisions in the Auroville Foundation Act&#8221; to &#8220;remove ambiguity&#8221; and &#8220;facilitate a strong administration in Auroville,&#8221; showing a continuing effort to further consolidate power.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b6b7d09 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b6b7d09\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Changing Auroville's demographics<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16dc67c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"16dc67c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"whitespace-normal\">In December 2023, the Governing Board published new regulations granting its appointees complete control over who joins and leaves Auroville. These regulations directly contradict the Auroville Foundation Act of 1988, which grants the Residents&#8217; Assembly the exclusive right to decide matters of admission and termination. Representatives of the Residents&#8217; Assembly appealed these regulations at the Madras High Court; however, in early 2025, a newly-formed group of AVFO appointees began taking over admissions and terminations, acting in direct contempt of court. The matter remains subjudice as the court has not yet delivered its final ruling.<\/p><p class=\"whitespace-normal\">Many residents and supporters believe this is part of a broader strategy to change Auroville&#8217;s demographics by facilitating the admission of people aligned with the AVFO&#8217;s perspectives while removing those who refuse to comply with its directives.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df795f5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"df795f5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Mise \u00e0 l'\u00e9cart de cadres et d'expert\u00b7e\u00b7s<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1320f16 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1320f16\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Skilled executives of key services and groups have been dismissed and banned from accessing their offices, computers, and mailboxes, sometimes without warning or explanation, and their source of income was cut off with little or no replacement. Arbitrary appointments of unqualified people on the basis of their affiliation with the AVFO have become the norm.<\/p><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">These dismissals continued through 2024, including executives of long-standing Auroville guest houses, food outlets and municipal services, despite their proven track records of competent management and increased profitability. A concerning feature of these dismissals is that they often occur without due process or justification, raising serious questions about the motives behind such actions.<\/p><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Similarly, professional Aurovilian experts in the fields of architecture, planning, water conservation, sustainable housing rejuvenation, reforestation, and more, are being sidelined and ignored in all decisions taken in their relevant fields of expertise. Instead, the AVFO increasingly outsources construction and development work to government entities like the Central Public Works Department (CPWD), even when local Auroville units have demonstrated expertise and capacity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

bulldozing at night, destruction of endangered forest and water catchment areas, and the eviction of residents from their homes with only a few days notice.<\/p><p>Mass-bulldozing and tree cutting in project areas funded by the Government of India or the European Commission have become the norm and are still ongoing, with approximately 20,000 trees cut since 2021. In early 2025, a new method of destruction emerged when mature trees in certain areas were deliberately stripped of their bark \u2013 a practice known to cause slow death without the immediate visibility of cutting the trees down.<\/p><p>Amongst other issues, this enforcement fixates on a perfectly circular 17-meter wide Crown Road without taking into consideration the social or environmental impacts, disregarding the recommendations of Auroville\u2019s experts, and ignoring the ecological, functional and creative alternative plans proposed by the collective. Large radial roads and an external &#8216;Outer Ring Road&#8217; are also being imposed, without any proper mobility plan.<\/p><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">En outre, l'AVFO n'a pas entrepris les d\u00e9marches n\u00e9cessaires pour obtenir les autorisations officielles, telles que les \u00e9valuations de l'impact sur l'environnement ou les plans de d\u00e9veloppement d\u00e9taill\u00e9s.

AuroOrchard Farm, one of the most productive, has been fractured by land exchanges, with residents facing harassment from new landowners and disrupted water supplies.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b09ebb4\" data-id=\"b09ebb4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66a2e4b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"66a2e4b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"505\" src=\"https:\/\/auroville.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/P1048410-1024x647.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-30856\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/auroville.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/P1048410-1024x647.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/auroville.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/P1048410-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/auroville.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/P1048410-768x485.jpg 768w, https:\/\/auroville.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/P1048410-1536x971.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/auroville.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/P1048410-2048x1294.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Le \"Master Plan : Perspective 2025\" n'a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 mis \u00e0 jour depuis sa pr\u00e9paration par l'Assembl\u00e9e des R\u00e9sidents en 1999.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd0c5ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"fd0c5ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/auroville.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-3-1024x681.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-29687\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/auroville.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-3-1024x681.png 1024w, https:\/\/auroville.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-3-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/auroville.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-3-768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/auroville.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-3.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Des parties des for\u00eats d'Auroville, riches en biodiversit\u00e9, ont \u00e9t\u00e9 ras\u00e9es au bulldozer en d\u00e9cembre 2021 pour faire place \u00e0 une route.

According to an analysis by members of the International Advisory Council (IAC), these exchanges have resulted in estimated losses of over 240 crore rupees (approximately US$28 million) to Auroville. Land parcels effectively have been given away at 1% of market value, raising serious questions about who profits from these deals, suggesting the possibility of undisclosed motives and financial irregularities.<\/p><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Furthermore, these land exchanges were made without following any established due process. Despite repeated calls to halt these transactions from the Residents&#8217; Assembly, the International Advisory Council, and even questions raised in the Indian Parliament, the exchanges continue without transparency or accountability.<\/p><p>Despite the duty of the Secretary of the Auroville Foundation as &#8216;Estate Officer&#8217;, several land encroachments occurred on Auroville lands with practically no response from the Secretary. In February 2025, only after over 700 residents signed a petition did the AVFO finally file an appeal to safeguard three acres of prime Auroville land that had been wrongfully appropriated by a politically-affiliated real estate developer. Before this, residents frequently gathered spontaneously to face these encroachments, often without support from those authorities tasked with the protection of these assets.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5764aca elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5764aca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Capitaliser sur le tourisme<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3d0992f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3d0992f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Several elements indicate the AVFO&#8217;s intention to capitalize on tourism and use Auroville to generate funds for unknown purposes.

Evictions have not followed processes of Indian law which allow adequate time for residents to relocate with allocation of proper alternatives for housing or workplaces.<\/p><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">The monthly allowances (called &#8216;maintenances&#8217; in Auroville) of approximately 200 residents have been discontinued arbitrarily, despite the need to cover basic expenses.

Visas seem to be specifically withheld for those who have publicly expressed disagreement with the actions taken by the AVFO.<\/p><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">In February 2023, this escalated further when an Auroville-born resident and duly appointed representative of the community was issued a &#8216;Leave India Notice&#8217;, seemingly for speaking out about the recent state of events in Auroville. In June 2023, an Auroville resident for 35 years and founder of the &#8216;Auroville Earth Institute&#8217; had his visa revoked by the AVFO Secretary \u2013 an unprecedented event in Auroville&#8217;s history. Today, over 200 Auroville residents have been impacted by visa issues.<\/p><p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">The AVFO now requires a &#8220;No Dues Certificate&#8221; from its appointees in charge of budgets before issuing visa recommendation letters. If a resident cannot pay claimed &#8216;back dues&#8217; (often arbitrarily determined), they are denied the letter, creating a form of extortion that particularly impacts non-Indian residents.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a020d8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6a020d8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Des accusations criminelles sont port\u00e9es sur des bases douteuses<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f32971b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f32971b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>En mai 2022, des plaintes p\u00e9nales ont \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9pos\u00e9es par le sous-secr\u00e9taire de la Fondation d'Auroville contre certain\u00b7e\u00b7s Aurovilien\u00b7ne\u00b7s qui se sont exprim\u00e9\u00b7e\u00b7s ouvertement contre les actions de l'AVFO, faisant r\u00e9f\u00e9rence \u00e0 un certain nombre d'accusations non fond\u00e9es, y compris \"\u00e9meutes\" et \"cybercrimes\".

courts that residents are \u201cmiscreants\u201d and the Governing Board \u201chas complete control and management of the affairs\u201d of Auroville. Legal disputes over Auroville&#8217;s governance and management are ongoing.\u00a0<\/p><p>More importantly, these developments, though imposed by the AVFO in the name of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, are dramatically opposed to their vision of unity, compassion and action on the basis of genuine collaboration and flexibility. How the city will be built remains to be seen, but the trends of the past four years stray further every day from the Dream envisioned by the founders of Auroville, which thrives through its residents.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column
