Amrita Vishwavidyapeetham has been collaborating with several organizations to reach out to society through various means. One such collaboration is with the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) through establishment of Village Resource Centres (VRC) at various locations in Kerala and Tamilnadu.

The VRCs envisage benefits of satellite technology to be made available to the rural masses of the country. Established in 2006, these centres have been providing a variety of services such as teleconferencing in medical and agricultural fields, IT related programmes and computer training. A large number of people have realized benefits by participating in the programmes organized at the centres. Employability of the residents of villages and empowerment of women have been enhanced through programmes and talks organized regularly at these centres.

At present, Amrita Vishwavidyapeetham has VRCs at Amritapuri, Puthiyacavu, Parippally, Kalpetta and Mananthavady (all in Kerala) and Ettimadai. Two more new VRCs are proposed at Vellayani (Kerala) and Nagapattinam (Tamilnadu). The Expert Centres at Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS), Kochi and at Amrita Vishwavidyapeetham Headquarters at Ettimadai ensure that quality programmes on a regular basis are offered.

The telemedicine department of AIMS has been instrumental in coming up with programmes in the form of lectures by specialist medical practitioners whose expertise has helped bring awareness of health and hygiene. Teleconferencing in agriculture and in other areas of general interest have predominantly been organized by the expert centre at Ettimadai. In addition to the aforementioned online programmes, the VRCs have been organizing offline programmes such as awareness talks by local experts, and conducting computer classes , spoken Engish classes and Yoga classes benefiting a broad spectrum of people like tribal youth,unemployed youth and housewives.

With expansion of Amrita VRC network it is hoped to offer e-learning and telemedicine consultation services as well by joining hands with AIMS and similar institutions that have social responsibilities and community services high on their list of objectives.

A variety of Health Programs are telecasted to remote health centers having telemedicine facility for the benefit of the general public. We conducted various health awareness programs to the general mass and also health surveyors and other health facilitators. One of the recent among the tele health programmes conducted was that of the Chikungunya awareness classes to the tribes of Vayanadu, a rural district in Kerala along with diabetic education classes to various other rural centres. There are regular tele education classes being held by the community medicine department of AIMS to various Tsunami affected areas within the state as well as outside the state.

Medical courses/classes are scheduled and conducted for students/doctors/specialists remotely in various medical specialties.

AIMS campus is well connected to the world of knowledge by our prestigious satellite networks. ISRO satellite network known as the edusat connects four of our main campuses (Ettimadai, AIMS, Amritapuri and Bangalore), of Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham in three states. The satellite link can make a two-way audio/video communication channel with a high bandwidth capability. Students from any of the Amrita campuses can not only attend, but can also interact in lectures taking place in other campuses. The high bandwidth satellite network has made Amrita University a fully interactive, multimedia capable, multi-disciplinary virtual university - the first of its kind in the nation without geographical constraints.

In the past two years, we have provided over 200 e -lectures to other three Amrita campuses in various subjects like biotechnology, bioinformatics, biochemistry etc.
