Auroville redefined by AVFO in Letters of Recommendation

The AVFO recently changed the wording on visa Letters of Recommendation (LoR). The previous wording stated that “Auroville was founded by ‘The Mother’ of Sri Aurobindo Ashram on 28th February 1968”. Now, it reads that Auroville is “functioning under the administrative control of the Ministry of Education, Government of India”. Mentions of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo have been removed.
