We are living in a world that needs compassion and love now more than ever. As the world continues to grapple with disparities, disasters, and pandemics thereby pushing populations across the world to poverty and no-means to earn a livelihood, a compassion-driven approach to solving world problems becomes the need of the hour. Having identified this need very early on, our Chancellor Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi (Amma) has placed compassion at the centre of every research and development activity by Amrita.
