Amrita university wins Times Higher Education Awards Asia

Coimbatore: Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham in Coimbatore has won the prestigious Times Higher Education (THE) Awards Asia 2024 award for its outstanding contribution to environmental leadership.
At the heart of this recognition is Amrita University’s groundbreaking initiative, Live-in-Labs, an internship programme in rural India. The students live in impoverished villages across the country to collaborate with the community and find sustainable solutions for the challenges the people face in their daily lives.
Dean of Amrita School for Sustainable Futures Maneesha V Ramesh said we are extremely honoured to be selected for our contribution to Environmental Leadership by THE Awards Asia 2024.

“When our chancellor, Mata Amritanandmayi Devi, envisioned Live-in-Labs over a decade ago, Amrita was one of the first universities in the world to provide an opportunity for students to experience village life and codesign sustainable solutions for solving the challenges in the community,” he said.
