Sarvodaya is a not an ecovillage but a remarkable and inspirational collection of local villages that are now considered part of the Sarvadaya movement started by Dr Arirantyi 40 years ago. It is to many a model of sustainable community based development that builds itself not through external aid but effective allocation and investment of internal resources.

Sarvodaya was founded by A.T.Ariyaratne.
