The Work of Auroville’s Land Board – Part 1 :

Few people realize the enormity of the work of Auroville’s Land Board. A small team of Aurovilians has the mandate for leading, organizing, and managing all of Auroville’s land protection and land purchase actions, supported by several teams working in various areas. In recognition of this immense responsibility, we are dedicating a series of articles to their work. In this first installment, we focus on what the Land Board’s mandate involves, as well as the considerable achievements made in the past 3 years.
