Prosperity for All

Universal Basic Services & Income for All

How do you enable all the members of a society to be free to organise their lives according to their inner capacities and not according to their financial means? How do you create a society where money is not the sovereign lord and where work is not a means to earn money but a way to express oneself and develop one’s capacities and possibilities? In its socio-economic sphere of research and development, this is the challenge Auroville is working on.

Universal Basic Services

Create a self-supporting, sustainable township of 50,000 without internal money circulation
Universal Basic Income

Generate and create wealth without attachment or asceticism, and use it for nobler, divine purposes
Collective Ownership of All Assets

No private ownership. Aurovilians are stewards of different resources.

The organisation should be such, should be so arranged, that the material needs of everyone are assured, not according to ideas of rights and equality, but on the basis of the minimum needs. And once that is established, each one should be free to organise his life according to―not according to his financial means, but his inner capacities.

The Mother

The Prosperity System

The founder of Auroville, the Mother, envisioned a system called Prosperity to take care of the material needs of the people of Auroville. It is a system to universally provide the minimum needs of the people so that everyone can focus on offering their best for the welfare of the whole community without having to struggle for their survival needs.
