Life Education Centre (LEC)

Sylvia Zimmerman, who lived in Surrender, passed away in the evening of February 4th. Sylvia had come to join Auroville in 1999, after a long worldwide search and experiences in different spiritual places and communities.

A recent survey of students in the villages surrounding Auroville found that 73 per cent of college graduates are still unemployed within one or two years of graduation.

In its 27-year life span, the Life Education Centre has been through different phases since its establishment as a centre to meet the needs of neglected children.

Sustainable Palate is an unusual cooking book, a collection of recipes for preparing traditional vegetables, grains and millets grown in and around Auroville.

The Life Education Centre (LEC) has published Journeys / பயணங்கள், a narrative documenting its 24-year journey since 1991 as seen through the eyes of its graduates and current students.
