Sarvodaya Enclave, Residential colony in South Delhi, India
Sarvodaya Enclave is a residential neighborhood in South Delhi made up of individual houses along tree-lined streets. Each property is enclosed by a boundary wall, with shared green spaces and parks distributed between the homes.
The neighborhood was built in the 1980s as South Delhi expanded to absorb the city's growing population. It was laid out as a planned enclave following urban development models common in post-independence India.
The name comes from the Sarvodaya concept, a Gandhian idea meaning the welfare of all. Prayer spaces for different faiths are scattered through the area, reflecting the mixed background of its residents.
The area is close to Hauz Khas metro station and well connected to nearby neighborhoods by road. Since this is a private residential area, visitors can move freely along the main roads and in public spaces, but not on private grounds.
A small central market brings together a pharmacy, a grocery shop, and postal services all within walking distance of most homes. This layout shows the area was designed from the start to function as a self-contained community.
