Auroville Green Belt Development Plan

The “Auroville Green Belt Development Plan” delineates strategies for managing and preserving land designated as the Green Belt within the Auroville community. The plan aims to address challenges arising from urban population growth and economic forces impacting land values. It emphasizes the preservation of land for soil reclamation, farming, and agro-forestry. Key objectives include protecting water sources, restoring the natural environment, and controlling land use. Recognizing Auroville’s role within a larger bioregion, the plan calls for collaboration to safeguard shared groundwater resources. By leveraging its knowledge and expertise, Auroville seeks to contribute to sustainability efforts beyond its boundaries.
