The Auroville Foundation has decided to constitute a Selection Process Committee to ensure “free and fair selection” of members to the Working Committee in the international township, in Villupuram district.
The Auroville Foundation (Framework for Selection of Working Committee) Regulations, 2024, notified recently, are expected to restrict the functions of one of the two ‘Working Committees’ presently in Auroville, which does not enjoy the support of the Governing Board.
Functionally, the Working Committee of Auroville is the interface between the Residents’ Assembly, the Governing Board, the International Advisory Council and the Government of India.
