Auroville Centres
Welcome to various Centres of Auroville, where we embark on transformative projects aimed at driving positive change and advancing knowledge.
Auroville Centre is a visionary initiative to reimagine education, research, and innovation from the ground up—rooted in the ideals of Auroville and the teachings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. It serves as a platform for Centres of Excellence that explore diverse fields through the lens of conscious evolution. In its first phase, twelve Auroville Centres are being launched to focus on planning, sustainability, design, communication, physical education, teacher training, environmental studies, applied technology, music, literature, unity, and Sri Aurobindo’s vision. Together, we aim to create a vibrant ecosystem for lifelong learning, inner development, and a knowledge-based economy for Auroville.

Implementation here is not just about execution; it’s about embodiment. Fellows, mentors, and collaborators engage in real-world projects that blend innovation with intention. Whether through sustainable living, global partnerships, or reflective mentorship, each action at the Centre aligns with a higher purpose: to serve the ideals of unity, harmony, and integral evolution.
The Centre’s culture is shaped by:
