Mèreville Trust was registered under the Auroville Foundation in February 2000 with the aim to contribute in its humble way to realize the ideal of Auroville. Raison D'Etre: The project came into being and developed with the collaboration of Sri Aurobindo Ashram of Pondicherry and Auroville, the international city of the future envisioned by the Mother. It represents a communion of the spirit, manifesting in the material things. Together we seek perfection through work. This is our sincere aspiration and offering as a fundamental part of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother's yoga. Natural Drive: Keeping in tune with an atmosphere of new global awareness, Auroville wants to be an ecologically advanced township. Auroville has gained national and international acclaim for its wasteland reclamation and re-afforestation program resulting in more than 25,00 acres of near desert and visibly dying land being transformed into a lush green area. Mereville Team Increasing attention has been given to the environmental impacts of human activity and Sustainable Development which improve the quality of life . Here everyone is given the opportunity of doing 'happy work', work that is productive, regenerative, creative meaningful, holistic and in intrinsic harmony with nature. The first project undertaken, ' Mèreville natural incense ', was in answer to the need of a good quality product, easily identifiable by its natural and delicate fragrance. The distinguishing factor is that a major part of our series is made of wholly natural powders and pure essential oil blends, while in a few commercial series we have maintained the level at 85% natural, with 15% of non-toxic synthetic blends. Through our renewing R&D efforts the percentage is slated to be reduced to a negligible 5% in the near future. The efforts will be on to be wholly natural. Our main thrust, as a microcosmic part of the unique and organic experiment that is Auroville, will always be to evolve the Natural prospective, paving the way for Quality over Quantity. Beauty in Eco-Friendliness: Particular care is taken towards the aesthetic presentation and expression of beauty in every aspect. The paper used for packaging as well as our display boxes, come from a handmade process of recycled cotton fibers, as well as other natural fibers such as rice, sugarcane, banana leaves, linen, silk, etc.. Each of these sheets of paper is unique in its appearance and reflects the simple beauty of Nature renewing itself constantly. The Mereville products are being increasingly appreciated for its natural flavor and new projects are being developed as we evolve.       Handrolling of incense Support to Auroville : One of our important aims is to provide the support to Auroville by our contribution through development projects. With the building of our new unit in Auroville and the progressive growth of Mereville Trust, we aim to steadily become more and more instrumental in making our self a support for the new projects. Aid Project: Auroville's life is inextricably intertwined with the surrounding villages. Auroville's life is inextricably intertwined with the surrounding villages. Their well-being is a part of our own. And in today's Auroville, interchange with villagers is spread out among environmentalists, employers, educationists, health care providers, development workers and concerned individuals. Keeping in tune with the developmental work in the nearby villages undertaken Auroville as part of it's intrinsic growth, Mèreville Trust is willing to take up, as part of it's Aid Project, various development programs for the nearby villages. As part of our HRD policy, Mèreville Trust employs mainly women as an aid to empower them and improve their life condition as well as that of their children. In short phases, these women who come from the villages close by, will be given certain facilities amongst other improved benefits.
