Gandhiji used the term `Sarvodaya` to refer to the birth of a new society based on ethical values. This concept emphasized the upliftment and well-being of all individuals, particularly the marginalized and oppressed sections of society, such as untouchables or dalits. Sarvodaya sought to bring about social, economic, and political equality through non-violent means. While non-violence and satyagraha were important aspects of Gandhiji`s philosophy, they are not the exact meanings of Sarvodaya. Sarvodaya focuses on a holistic transformation of society, where every individual is valued, and ethical values such as empathy, compassion, and justice guide all aspects of human life. It aims for the creation of a just and inclusive society where everyone has equal opportunities and rights.
