Are Aurovilians Clean?

Corruption in Auroville’s land acquisitions is a troubling issue, with some Aurovilians exploiting their roles within the Land Board for personal profit, subverting the community’s mission. Reports of private, concealed deals that divert lands meant for Auroville to private ownership reveal deep-rooted malpractice. The Governing Board must intervene to establish transparent acquisition practices, curbing the influence of a few entrenched interests. Instituting competitive auction systems for outlying lands could bring accountability, aligning land acquisition with Auroville’s values and long-term vision.

Green is the Color of Greed in Auroville

With farcical elections and self-serving agendas, the green facade conceals a need for control, stifling genuine ecological progress and betraying the original vision of a harmonious, sustainable community.
