The idea behind designing the service infrastructure for the slum re-settlement was deep-rooted in the scenario of today’s pandemic. As it has become hard or even unimaginable to live a life without the infrastructures that provide basic necessities for living and urban chores. The project Jeevisha includes the proposed design of two urban small-scaled structures. The pandemic lead everyone to switch online, Now the fact that slum settlements are unplugged from the use of the internet, the education of the children has also been stopped. Utkarshsthal, is a structure that will act as an internet hub and will breed ground for learning and growth of the settlement making it an important part of the settlement. The structure is flexible and transformable which opens doors for different possible activities around the plaza. The other structure was designed as per the vision of the project is to build a safer and secure locality for the people and The aim behind constructing a toilet was to provide a clean and hygienic environment for the people using the plaza. The toilet will also hold a place for employment opportunities in the management of the structure's sources. The structure of the internet hub can be constructed in layers and can be dismantled easily and reassembled. Whereas the structure of the toilet includes two major construction layers i.e masonry work and non-mason work. The structures can be built easily which gives the project a plus point for multiple usages and opportunities.l
