The project is named ‘Sarvodaya’ which is a Sanskrit term for “progress of all”. the term Sarvodaya was also coined to define Mahatma Gandhi's political philosophy. Vinoba Bhave also used the term to express the overall intent of Gandhian philosophy.

To come up with a design philosophy/design process for the project firstly Gandhian philosophy was studied briefly. Gandhian philosophy was chosen to study as it is based on the principles of community togetherness and sustainability. Gandhian philosophy in the earlier days was viewed as a base for community values. Gandhi implied that architecture is a societal artifact and villages form the backbone of the economy. in today’s world, Gandhian philosophy can be viewed as a base to imbibe spiritual and moral values along with community values. Gandhian philosophy forms the design concept for the proposal which will encourage city people to try out an alternate lifestyle and also takes values and inspiration from the place in an attempt to enhance the value of their own value along with providing a comfortable recreational space. Secondly, after studying Gandhian philosophy certain words were chosen that explain the Gandhian philosophy overall. These words were also chosen on the basis of a brief understanding of Gandhian philosophy. Thirdly various connections are made between the Gandhian philosophy; chosen words and the project brief. These connections are then translated into the brief with respect to the program of the design; spatial quality; zoning; materials and activities.
