It is totally worth the fight! Even if the amount of destruction and hurt has been tremendous since the appointment of Dr Jayanti Ravi as Secretary of the Auroville Foundation, a lot has been safeguarded thanks to the efforts of many. More importantly, there is still so much to protect, to safeguard, to nurture and to grow!

The community response, the financial support and the help received from across India and the globe have been heartwarming. This has made a huge difference, and will continue to make a difference. We are together in front of these challenges, and together we will overcome them.

Auroville is complex by nature, and the current conflict is a multi-layered one. Auroville Media Liaison, the official communication channel of the Residents' Assembly, created a webpage that summarizes the current situation and all that is currently under threat. You can check it out by clicking here.

There are several communication channels that provide relatable, factual and sourced updates on the current Auroville crisis. We present some of these on this page.

It is worth noting that these updates are created by three different sources: Evolving Galaxy, Stand For Auroville Unity, and Auroville Media Liaison. All three are managed by residents of Auroville. The first two are independant media channels whose authors act anonymously in order to be protected. Auroville Media Liaison is of a more official nature, as it is under the supervision of the bonafide Working Committee of the Residents' Assembly, the residents' elected representatives.

We will be able to answer your questions more accurately, as cases may be different depending on which country you live in, and what is the specified purpose of your donation.

We observe that the progressive dismantling of Auroville and its achievements has started with the appointment of Dr Jayanti Ravi, IAS, as Secretary to the Governing Board; and with the appointment of a new Governing Board of the Auroville Foundation. 

It is possible that these individuals have other supports but they hold the main responsibility for the desastrous management of Auroville that residents witness since 2021. These individuals are also supported by a handful of Auroville residents who have vested interests, who are under pressure, or who have a very narrow view on urban development (insisting that Auroville should welcome 47000 new residents in a couple of years to fulfil its purpose, which is nonsensical according to the words of the Mother herself).
