In memoriam - Akash Nandkumar

In memoriam:


Akash Nandkumar

Akash Nandkumar

Akash Nandkumar, an Auroville volunteer, left his body on October 13th. Akash first came to attend Auroville’s Swadharma programme in July-August 2018, and afterwards continued to live in Auroville, developing Hempcrete which became his life’s passion, working with the Auroville Earth Institute and others pioneering the difficult research and development work. During the lockdown his work came to a halt. Because of his mounting difficulties he chose to leave his body.

There was a gathering at the Tibetan Pavilion on October 15th in his memory.
