Join us for our 1st Annual Gender Etiquette Film Competition

Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham and the UNESCO Chair for Women’s Empowerment and Gender Equality are launching the first annual short film competition. Media is an integral part of our lives, and only by engaging critically with the media that we consume can attitudes begin to shift and with them, stereotypes change. This yearly event is designed to foster creativity in Amrita students and raise awareness about important themes that impact daily life.

With the goal of empowering rural communities, AMMACHI Labs & CWEGE have designed hi-tech and lo-tech social interventions in the areas of sustainability, water, sanitation and education.

In our commitment to rural villages of India, we are as excited about our continuing development of community outreach solutions as we are about our focused R&D for CHI, haptics and humanitarian technologies.
