Chitra

Chitra Balaguru tragically ended her life on January 13th, 2022. She was only 39 years old.
Originally hailing from Chennai, Chitra came with her husband and small daughter to Auroville in 2013 and officially joined in March 2016. Having experience with senior care, she naturally gravitated towards the Auroville Health Services where she has been working as hygiene inspector and care giver for almost ten years. She was much appreciated by both AVHS and the many recipients of her care, who saw her as a conscientious, friendly and always uplifting presence in their lives. She will be sorely missed.
Chitra’s body was cremated at the Auroville mandappam in the morning of 15 January with members of family and friends attending.
Thank you, Chitra, and may you find peace. Our warmest condolences go out to the family.
