Situated at the foot of the Devi Garh fort is the Delware village, which belonged to the kingdom of mewar unit 1947, as part of the feudal estate of the house of Delwara. The history of this region, known for its rich culture, chivalry, and martial valour, is also privy to a tradition of constructive and educational work.

As early as the 1920s, visionary leaders such as Dr. Mohan Singh Mehta addressed the problems of poverty and the need to create democratic values in society. One such organization born through the efforts of peaceful revolutionaries as Dr. Mehta is 'Seva Mandir' ,based in Udaipur. Today, Seva Mandir is working in around 600 village, situated in the vicinity of Devi Garh. Its work is focused on improving the education, livelihoods, health and status of women in deprived communities. It is also engaged in enabling people to cooperate with each other to solve the problems that affect them.

Delwara symbolizes the problems of modern day unplanned settlements. Pressures of a growing population and the lack of basic amenities are leading to a rapid deterioration in the living standards of the inhabitants. Infrastructure, such as regular water supply, adequate sanitation, and waste disposal systems are non existent-as are the means to proper health, livelihood, and education.

In 2004, Seva Mandir and the National Foundation for India (NFI), a Delhi-based philanthropic organization, came together to help improve the living conditions of Dewara's residents. In fact, Seva Mandir's association with village goes back many years-in 1988, It started a women's patchwork programme known as 'Sadhna' which aims to provide an alternative source of income to women. Thus, handicraft, which includes exquisite applique and embroidery work, was introduced to the women of Delwara.
