Auroville

"Auroville wants to be a universal town where men and women of all countries are able to live in peace and progressive harmony above all creeds, all politics and all nationalities. The purpose of Auroville is to realise human unity." Auroville is a unique community of many nationalities living near Pondicherry, South India. Efforts towards sustainability, renewable energy, reforestation, solid waste management and handicraft production are landmarks of this fascinating social experiment, and its various good practices are widely recognised.
