Aurovilians mock the Government of India & spread false rumors in Open Meeting blinding residents to cover-up their alleged dastardly deeds – as Predicted
It is very disheartening to see that some Aurovilians who are seemingly affected by Corruption Free Auroville or are misinformed of law and understanding of the Principles of Auroville mock The Government of India for rendering justice to the project of Auroville and Mother India.
We have been sending evidence on Law of the Land & the Principles of Auroville to the Residents of Auroville and Working Committee for two years with no answers and when we have given our report to the Governing Board i.e. Government of India and they have recommended CBI / ED/ NIA/ RAW/ IT probe, some Aurovillians wish to overrule that decision with their own internal ‘Taskforce’ by the affected/alleged parties which will seemingly eradicate land mafia, conduct a forensic audit of a parallel economy, protect the sovereignty of the Country and follow the principles for which Auroville was founded. They also said this was some conspiracy theory of the Whistleblower to destroy Auroville and apparently was a long term plan and was implanted to be a victim of the System of Corruption. Such ludicrous statements show the acumen of some Aurovilians for a legitimate public interest case which was recommended by the Government of India after over 5 decades of some powerful Aurovilians looting the donors' money, government grants, land and other despicable acts in contravention to law of the land and principles of Auroville itself.
These anti-social elements destroying the Mother’s Dream Project for personal vested interests at the cost of Indian Law and Wellbeing of Residents themselves and have taken all the liberty given to them for granted. We also openly say that they have kept the Resident assembly powerless and fed them false information for years which has not been answered so far…
Putting the entire project of Auroville in a bad light due to the actions of a few. Also how do Aurovilians who are given so much support by the Government of India accuse the same Government?
Will @Bjp4india see this mockery of “Hindustan”? We also wonder why is the Working Committee so interested in asking The Chairman not to resign but questions the Government of India instead ? Food for thought…
We ask for strict action from the Government of India, dissolve the current Working Committee, FAMC, and other groups and allow the Resident Assembly to blossom the manifestation of the Mother’s Dream.
These actions bring shame to the Sovereignty of our Land also at the cost of True Auroville itself.
We neither wish to destroy Auroville or give it any bad name, although the truth will be told as it is -
We will keenly follow up this news in days to come…

For the third time, The Complainant requests for meeting with residents (although Residents cannot legally and ethically conduct Enquiry on a public interest litigation on themselves) :
Dear Members of the Resident Assembly,
CC. Governing Board
I believe that in all fairness and seeing the host in the recent General meeting not having the acumen of law, very little foresight, lack of understanding and my real intentions for the public interest litigation for the betterment of Auroville & Mother India,
I would like to address the Residents openly. Any questions or doubts in the minds of the residents can be answered. If I have been building this Himalayan stockpile for Clean Auroville with such conviction certainly there is some truth behind it.
It was seen that the accused are derailing the RA Revival by spreading false rumors about me in front of the community with no understanding of the law and principles of Auroville themselves. The Working Committee & some Aurovilians are avoiding meeting me in front of the Resident Assembly since they know what I know and open debate or discussion will spill their beans in front of the community. For 3 meetings when my name is spoken and I am discussed in all fairness why not meet me in front of the community even when asked for…What is there to hide when all are as clean as claimed ?
I was a Friends of Auroville, lived in Auroville and no matter what your master list says I am very much, in theory, a resident of Auroville. Unfortunately since I speak the truth the Corrupt Aurovilians do not like it and also the ones who are not aware of the situation are confused.
In all ethical transparency which is the founding blocks of a spiritual community and is also the mandate of the current Government, I request you to consider the above.
Warm Regards,
VikramRam
General Meeting to cover-up for CBI/ ED/ NIA/ IT inquiry –
Kindly listen to the audio
General Meeting – Pour Tous
00:00 Introduction 07:30 Meeting
Agenda:
1. GB Enquiry Committee report.
2. Government Grants mismanagement especially for construction projects.
3. Approve a Collective letter to Dr.Karan Singh, Chairman of the Auroville Foundation.
Background information:
A person named Vikram Ram, who was a Friend of Auroville, and connected to many Aurovilians, has over the last two years been circulating some severe allegations about Auroville and specific Aurovilians. He has also written to the Prime Minister of India, President, Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) and other authorities, as well as the Chairman of the Auroville Foundation, Dr. Karan Singh. In view of the severity and breadth of the accusations, the Chairman nominated an Enquiry Committee under section 16 of the Auroville Foundation Act on April 29th, 2019. Three Governing Board (GB) members were thus appointed, along with the then Secretary Mr. Mohan Chunkath and the former Secretary Mr. Bala Baskar. Having gone extensively through the allegations, and after a lengthy personal meeting with the complainant, the three GB members (Mr. Madan Gopal, Chair, Prof. Sacchidananda Mohanty and Dr. Nirima Oza) on June 28th signed personally each of the 28 pages of the report, as by the law, with the following recommendation: In the light of the enormity and complexity of the complaint, the Enquiry Committee unanimously and strongly recommends that the complaint be investigated by appropriate Central Agency to be decided by Ministry of HRD, Govt. of India as early as possible.
They also listed out 10 sections of the Indian Penal Code which have been allegedly violated in Auroville.
The Governing Board held a special meeting at Delhi on 26th August, 2019 and endorsed the report and recommendation of the Enquiry Committee.
Subsequently, on September 3rd, Dr. G. Seetharaman, Interim Secretary of the Auroville Foundation, forwarded the Enquiry Report along with the additional 670 pages documentation to the HRD ministry. On October 22nd, the complainant received the same from the HRD ministry, in response to the RTI Appeal (Right To Information) he had filed on October 10th.

The whole issue has also been reported in the Pondicherry edition of the national newspaper, The Hindu, with a full-length article, which is attached here:
This is a time we need to come together as Auroville as a whole. It requires all of us to take our responsibilities and take action. We need to find solutions to this grave situation together. We can no longer turn our eyes away or put our heads under the sand. Nor can we each do our own thing in our corners. We have to come together. We have to respond seriously to these allegations, expose what is unjustified and incorrect, and take responsibility where the accusations are true. We have to discuss what to do. Could we set up a Taskforce to do that and report to the community within one month?
An Aurovilian engineer, along with a Newcomer who had been working for decades as an accounts officer in the Finance Department of the Auroville Foundation, have been trying to raise the issue of incorrect utilisation of the Government Grants to Auroville, such as at the Tamil Heritage Centre, mismanagement, losses, incorrect practices and corruption. They have also shown in the case of the Bharat Nivas, that it is possible to save money by following correct practices. They say that they have not been heard properly by the GOI (Government of India) Grants Group, the FAMC (Funds and Assets Management Committee), TDC (Town Development Council), Oversight Committee, etc. Invited and requested to collaborate in the investigations, they presented their findings to the Governing Board. The Aurovilian also met the Chairman of the GB in Delhi. Seeing no action on the ground after repeatedly submitting their findings and asking for appropriate follow-up, this Aurovilian actually wrote to Dr. Karan Singh, on 24.11.19, asking him to resign. He asked for the appointment of a “devotee” as the Chairman. Several individuals have countered that and the Working Committee also wrote to Dr. Karan Singh, on 25.11.19 requesting him not to resign.
This is a very serious situation, where again, our response as a community is needed.
How do we respond? What can we do?
Kindly listen to the audio recording keenly with an open mind
( We already have a snapshot of the page and downloaded the audio recording and deleting this will be considered as another action to cover-up true happenings in Auroville, a statutory body under the Ministry of HRD )
