What is Aurovilles relationship with the local villages?
A. Mostly it is of a practical nature, based on work done by and with the villagers within Auroville. On the whole there is a good relationship, with a lot of mutual respect. Auroville is inextricably involved with the villages, and knows that it cannot come up independently of them even if it wished to, which is definitely not the case. Meanwhile, an understanding of Auroville is steadily growing, specially among the younger generation.
