Amrita Women Support Schemes – Scholarships, Mentoring

Academic teaching, research and community outreach with a focus on addressing gender equality gaps plays a vital role in the development of key policies and programmes that have contributed towards Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham’s status as a champion of women’s empowerment.

Amrita holds India’s only UNESCO chair in Women’s Empowerment and Gender Equality. The Centre for Women’s Empowerment and Gender Equality at Amrita plays an important role in advising the university on gender-related issues with emphasis on educational attainment, health, preparation for economic opportunity, and safety. Excellence in all its diversity has become the organising principle of Amrita’s policy. Leadership by our Chancellor Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi has channelled Amrita with formal equality work since its setup. A 13-member expert team consisting of leading researchers globally also help in shaping the policy around Women’s Empowerment and gender equity.

There is a conscious effort to maintain gender balance among faculty, senior management, students in STEM education, and projects. Through strategies to promote equal and respectful cooperation across several levels, our women leadership allows removing hindrances created by managerial and financial systems that create and foster inequality. Led by women deans, administrators and departmental chairs, we have constantly created a safe learning and teaching environment for female students and staff. Our schools have created and involved annual programs that allow women students and faculty to organize events within and outside the University promoting solutions to issues related to women and community. Regular student-teacher mentorship programs, problem and solution-centric counselling programs have been conducted across the campuses.
