Ms. Ravi made the remarks during the interaction with a 63-member delegation of Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission Group I officers visiting Auroville.
The delegation included Deputy Collectors, Deputy Superintendents of Police, Asisstant Directors of Rural Development, District Employment and Labour Officers, District Registrars of Cooperative Societies and Assistant Commissioners of Labour.
As part of the orientation programme, the officers visited the Matrimandir.
Addressing the members, Ms. Ravi said Auroville remains fundamentally rooted in environmental stewardship. The city’s architectural and developmental framework is meticulously designed to operate in close harmony with nature, serving as a living laboratory for eco-friendly urban planning.
On governance and resource management, she said Auroville transcends traditional political models. Inspired by the ideals of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo, the township operates on the ethos of “conscious servitorship”, in which residents voluntarily work towards individual self-development and collective consciousness.
