Roads in Auroville
Martanda is the co-ordinator of the Auroville Road Service work. A young man born in Auroville, he has taken upon himself a work that is both very much needed, appreciated by many and critically questioned by some.
Aware of the problems of excessive dust during the dry season countered with mud and puddles during monsoon seasons, Martanda has chosen paver stones as a solution. In an interview, he points out that roads define a city; as all the lands of our city are not yet acquired, the building of its roads remains a challenge on which Martanda continues to work.
Aurevan, Smiti, Shrishti and Vinay, students of’ various schools in Auroville, created this short program.
