Abstract
This is a framework study to map and examine the evolution of governance and organizational practices in Auroville, spanning seven key sectors, as against Mother’s guidance on Auroville read in the background of the conceptual architecture of Sri Aurobindo’s Human Cycle and Ideal of Human Unity. The sectors considered were education and research, economy and commerce, city planning and urban infrastructure development, land acquisition, housing, agriculture and outreach. Part I outlines Mother’s spiritual and socio-political vision for Auroville, in the background of Sri Aurobindo’s thought. Part II charts her account of spiritual urbanism. Part III maps Auroville’s empirical growth and provides a synoptic sector-wise overview across the seven sectors to identify governance challenges and development priorities. Part IV analyses this empirical picture as against the vision, to suggest governance reforms across the Residents’ Assembly and Working Groups. Part V then examines governance structures encoded in the Auroville Foundation Act, 1988. Part V reviews the study to outline major findings and recommendations and offers concluding remarks on the need for urgent and bold action in a spirit of fraternity.
