Social and Behavioural Sciences

The School of Social and Behavioural Sciences (SSBS) Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham is guided by a mission to advance research and education for societal good, with compassion as its foundation. In this spirit, the Coimbatore campus offers a distinctive environment for interdisciplinary learning, combining social sciences with a strong grounding in sustainability and field-based engagement. Set within a serene, green campus known for its emphasis on organic and sustainable practices, students benefit from a hands-on, experiential approach to learning. This setting provides unique opportunities to explore the intersections between mental health, community development, environmental sustainability, and rural livelihoods. Rooted in Amrita’s philosophy of “education for life,” SSBS at Ettimadai aims to cultivate academically rigorous, socially conscious graduates equipped to address complex societal challenges with empathy and responsibility.
