AUROENTREPRISES
at Plot-3, Ashok Nagar,
Present: Sri Abani T. Das, Smt. Kala Das, Mrs P Mishra, Dr. P. Dhal, Sri H. Acharya
- The meeting started with brief meditation.
- The minutes of the previous meeting was read, discussed and approved.
- Letter to Tahsildar: The reminder letter [petition], proposed and prepared last month, could not be delivered yet due to a variety of reasons. This will now be done during the coming days.
- Land at Mangarajpur/Brahmapur : The developments since the last meeting was intimated. It was revealed that the present roads in that area did not feature in the old revenue map of Brahmapur, which is being referred to till now. Therefore, the available actual land area will stand reduced to the extent covered by the new roads. This will be confirmed by actual measurements at the site.
- The matter, whether we should opt for Lease or Sale route for acquiring this land, is still under consultation. In either case, the Seller has to obtain Judicial/Endowment clearance, before they can hand over. In the previous meeting, several members opined that we should go in for buying this land, in stead of opting for the lease route. The reason is the long-term insecurity on possession of the land in the lease route, if the children in their family later change opinion in course of time. However, the implication of these options is to be studied in greater detail, before we decide on the choice. In the Lease route, we will face Registration costs, which is substantial, on two occasions. One source says that the Registration charges are at 12.5%, while the other says it to be 17%. This has to be ascertained from the Asst. Registrar office at Chowdwar, Cuttack , as to what is applicable at their office. The official valuation of the chosen land is to be verified from the R.I. office. Also, it is to be verified whether it falls under any industrial belt demarcation.
- The next point discussed was the revenue map of the area. Our attempt to collect it from the concerned department at Cuttack has not been helpful, since they now charge Rs.630/- for the map, and ask to wait for a month for delivery. It was suggested that we contact the R.I., who sits at Mangarajpur, to collect a tracing or Xerox copy of the plot area. Dr. Dhal talked to Debjeet Singh Deo to collect the tracing/xerox, and he has agreed to collect it soon. It was now planned to visit site, along with Amin from R.I. office, and needed labourers, to measure the physical site and check the demarcation [and intrusions if any].
- Finance: The urgent matter before us is: the impending need for substantial amount of money, to buy the land and finance the preliminary area development. It was emphasized that it is necessary to expedite the collection of the donations and funds, so as to be able to finance the purchase of the land. Besides this, some funds will be needed to put up boundaries of the lands, and create the minimum infrastructure to support living on the land, in the first place. The estimated initial requirement is in excess of Rs.700,000/-. All members, Patrons and Donors were requested to chip in at this vital time, to open up their purse and send in their generous donations to Auroentreprises, so as to start this adventure in the service of the Mother. All checks/drafts are to be made payable to Auroentreprises, payable at Bhubaneswar, Orissa, India, and mailed to Aurentreprises, C/o Mr A.T. Das, Plot No-3, Ashok Nagar [East], Bhubaneswar 751009, INDIA, which will be duly receipted. Your collaboration and support is eagerly awaited. [The account number of Auroentreprises is SB-913274 in Andhra Bank, Ashok Nagar branch, Bhubaneswar.]
- The next meeting will be on 20 May, 2007, at the same venue and the same time.
- The meeting ended with brief meditation.

- Letter to Tahsildar: The reminder letter [petition], proposed and prepared last month, could not be delivered yet, since the availability of the Tahsildar in his office was too little and uncertain during the month of March, due to pressure on revenue collections. This will now be done during April.
- Land at Mangarajpur/Brahmapur : The developments since the last meeting was intimated. On 30 March, out team [Mr A.T. Das, Dr. P. Dhal and Mr H. Acharya] met the Raja's younger brother and his son, while they were on a visit to Bhubaneswar. They intimated that the family members have decided to give us a piece of land of around 19 acres, and we could visit them in order to see the site. On 31 March, our team [ Mr A.T. Das, Smt. Kala Das, Dr. P. Dhal and Mr H. Acharya] visited their palace at Mangarajpur, and after a brief talk, visited the site of the proposed land, located in village of Brahmapur.

They said that the land would be available either for sale or on lease.

[with Sri Dhirendra N. Dalai], Sri Biranchi K. Karan, Sri Chaitanya Mohapatra, Sri
Sanjeeb Jena, H. Acharya.
- The meeting started with brief meditation.
- Discussions started about pending application for the 100-acre plot on Puri-Konark road. Mr Jena indicated that as per his information, the file with our application has not yet moved from the office of Tahasildar. Mr Chaki suggested that we follow up with the Tahsildar, about our long-pending application for the land. Mr Jena will find out official reference number of our application file, so that that reference could be included in the fresh reminder letter to be written to Tahsil office, Nimapara. Mr Chaki will formulate the style of the letter to be written to them, and furnish it to Mr Das. It was decided to send the application to tahsildar’s office by speed post, with acknowledgement due, and on receipt of intimation on the delivery of the letter, to visit the Tahsildar for personal follow-up. Mr Chaki will also check, what could be done to expedite on our pending application.
- The matter of membership was raised by Mr Chaki. The membership charges mentioned in the original document are of 1971 vintage, and much change have occurred since then. It was decided to revise the membership charges as thus: a. membership is a minimum of Rs.200/- per annum, and b. The life membership will be minimum of Rs.2,250/-. Members are however invited to contribute any additional amount as per their means.
- Bank Accounts: It was resolved that a Savings Bank account be opened, as soon as possible, at the Ashok Nagar branch of Andhra Bank, in the name of Auroentreprises, with the following authorized signatories to operate the account, with the proviso that any two (out of the Three) signatures will suffice for operating the bank transactions. The authorized persons are: 1. Sri Abani Taran Das, 2. Smt. Premlata Mishra, and 3. Sri Hrushikesh Acharya.
- The executive committee decided to include the following as new members: 1. Sri Barin Chaki, and 2. Smt Sipra Chaki.
- Web Site: Sri Chaki has already made some progress on the proposed website for Auroentreprises (as discussed in the previous meeting). He requested all members to kindly provide their photo and brief bio-data for inclusion in the website. He also requested to prepare an updated list of members.
- Dr Dhal brought along one Sri Dhirendra N. Dalai, of Cuttack , a member of their Suraksha Trust, who has spotted some new plots for our consideration. These are located at Sankarpur, off Choudwar/Charbatia, around 20 KM from Cuttack . The first land belongs to some ex-DG, which is understood to be priced higher at around Rs one lakh per acre (reducible after negotiation /direct discussions with the owner to around Rs 85 thousand per acre). The second choice is out of a bigger plot, belonging to a Raja from Purulia, now deceased, with his daughter being the present owner, and staying elsewhere. Sri Dalai expects this land to be available at a far reduced price. He will do further investigation through an ex-teacher friend resident in that area, and also the durwan of the site, and collect details of the present owner‘s address. The owner is to be contacted to proceed further in this matter. Members felt this to be a better choice, if feasible. The matter is to be pursued.
- Dr Dhal informed that 1. The owner of the 12 acre private plot in Nihalprasad is asking far too high a price, and thus that matter need not be pursued further, and 2. In that vicinity, a 5 acre plot, cultivated, is available [near Dr Dhal’s plots] for sale at around Rs. One thousand per Gunth, ie. About Rs. 25 thousand per acre. Further steps in this matter are to be taken, after studying the other alternatives, as available for scrutiny at present.
- Sri Mohapatra and Sri Chaki will study the present memorandum of association and bye-laws, to see what changes, if any, are needed to be made, and present their findings in the next meeting.
- The next meeting will be on 3 March 2007, same venue, and same timing.
- The meeting ended with brief meditation, and offering.
