Auroville, which literally translates to “City of Dawn”, is an experimental
township in Tamil Nadu. As part of the ongoing experiment, the residents of
Auroville have account numbers connected to a central database instead of the
usual currency. Each month, the residents of the township are encouraged to
contribute to the central fund. People of Auroville who are in need are given a
monthly amount out of this central fund to meet their basic needs. Set up to
meet the vision of united humanity, Auroville is a beautiful part of the world
to be in. Despite people from several different castes and religions residing
here, you can feel the peace and the harmony. Of course, the beautiful
surroundings of the township make it an out of the world experience.
