Located in Puducherry, India, Auroville is a community that was born on the 28 February 1968. Its founder created the Auroville Charter which consists of four main ideas, underpinning her vision for Auroville. When Auroville came into being, All India Radio (AIR) broadcast the charter live in 16 languages. Aurovilians apply the ideas of the Auroville Charter in their daily life, in policy-development, and decisions, big and small. The charter thus forms an omnipresent referent that silently guides the people who choose to live and work for Auroville.
