Value-based Education & Indic Studies:
Cultivating Compassion and Inclusivity
Integrating Amrita’s core values of Dharma (righteousness), Karuna (compassion), and Shraddha (mindfulness), this research focus will explore the role of value-based education in fostering compassion, inclusivity, and global citizenship. We will also delve into Indic Studies, promoting the rich heritage of Indian knowledge systems in a global context.
Research on Value-based Education & Indic Studies aligns with India’s National Missions by promoting cultural heritage, ethics in education, and Indian philosophical traditions (National Education Policy), enhancing teaching quality and innovative pedagogies (National Mission on Teachers and Teaching), preserving ancient texts and indigenous knowledge (National Mission for Manuscripts), digitizing historical resources for accessibility (National Mission for Libraries), and fostering inclusive education practices rooted in Indian values.
Research in Value-based Education & Indic Studies aligns with key UN SDGs 4 (Quality Education), 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions) by promoting quality education integrating values, ethics, cultural heritage (SDG 4), understanding traditional knowledge systems, cultural values for sustainable communities (SDG 11), and fostering peaceful, inclusive societies through indigenous wisdom (SDG 16).
Developing evidence-based practices for the digitization of Indian heritage sites, including the integration of multi-linguistic systems for translation, to appreciate the differences between modern and traditional approaches in Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS)
Explore the intersection of immunology and health through integrating indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) with scriptural evidence, focusing on translation and digitization to advance IKS in promoting health.
Address educational disparities based on regions, utilizing online tutoring and learning applications along with Language Learning Management (LLM) and Machine Translation (MT) tools, and establishing online platforms specifically catering to Indic languages.
Enhancing education with cultural sensitivity through workshops and training, fostering awareness and outreach using internet/web-based applications, and promoting emotional intelligence for improved wellbeing and work-life balance.
Promoting social harmony through immersive learning experiences that leverage interactive animations and draw insights from scripture-based stories
Addressing issues of neglected parenting and improper diagnosis in
educational psychology, while mitigating associated social stigmas.
Preserving indigenous food practices and knowledge through Speech-to Text digitization, employing AI/ML/DL models, and facilitating streaming via 4G-5G networks.
Enhancing experiential learning for individuals with cognitive impairments through gamified technology applications, with a focus on behavioral analytics for optimization.
Implementing personalized learning and assessment methods utilizing
psychometric tests, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) techniques, and
ensuring the reliability of AI systems.
Fostering motivation in indigenous learning contexts through the
integration of Internet of Things (IoT) and Deep Learning (DL)
technologies, promoting lifelong microlearning opportunities.
Educational Pedagogies, Emerging
Technologies & Indian Knowledge Systems
Research in Educational Pedagogies, Emerging Technologies & Indian Knowledge Systems aligns with India’s national missions by promoting inclusive education, digital accessibility, and technological skills (Digital India, Skill India). It supports universal access to quality education (Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan) and advances healthcare technologies (National Health Mission) while addressing objectives of the National Education Policy for equitable education.
Research in Educational Pedagogies, Emerging Technologies & Indian Knowledge Systems aligns with multiple UN SDGs: SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities) through inclusive education; SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) via technological innovation; SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) by fostering collaborative efforts; and SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions) by promoting cultural preservation and empowerment.
Developing a mobile-based app integrating image processing, deep learning, pattern recognition, interactive learning, speech technology, automatic QA system, and mixed reality for ethnobotany to enhance equity and access.
Creating personalized and intuitive learning systems using perceptionbased assessment and intelligent user interfaces for community-dwelling
older adults, integrating model-based learning and perception-driven
educational approaches.
