There exists a huge gap between the availability of lucid but analytical development literature and it’s demand by the development workers and people in general. Realizing the importance of making such publications available to the communities at the rural and remote places SVA has been working closely with "Gaunli Vichar". The name Gaunli Vichar stands for villagers thought and emphasizes more on promoting the wisdom of the villagers and the common people. Gaunli Vichar over the years has published, printed and reprinted varieties of books, booklets, leaflets, journal, posters, study reports, activities reports and other reading materials on the following issues/topics/subjects. In addition SVA also brings out a monthly bulletin called Gram Swarajya Abhiyana (in Oriya) which reaches to about 1500 villages and towns in Orissa with readership of over 25000 people.
