With headquarters at Coimbatore and campuses at Amritapuri, Kochi, Bangalore and Mysore, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham has emerged as one of the fastest growing institutions of higher learning in India.
The university is managed by the Mata Amritanandamayi Math. Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, Amma, one of the foremost humanitarian leaders of the world today, is the Chancellor of the university.
Why Amrita?
A developing nation such as ours should offer sufficient opportunities for higher education to the youth of our nation. In addition, the need of the hour is also to promote scientific research, an area in which our nation is not yet on par with other developed nations.
In the past, India was known as a place for learning. Students from all over the world studied in ancient Indian universities. Amrita University aims to become a top center for learning and research, so that the nation can once again flourish as a place of knowledge.
The Mata Amritanandamayi Math is the parent organization of Amrita University.
