Modern education should be embedded with values. Creativity and collaborative organisational work enables student

to inculcate and bring out the results of values. Extramural events like Vidyamritam Lectures, Workshops, Conferences,

Debates, Contests, Exhibitions and Group activities, Visits to organizations and interviews with eminent personalities

facilitate platforms for students to hear, speak, see, do, understand and assimilate ideas coming from the interactions.

Our Annual series of extramural learning ‘Vidyamritam’ has completed 15 years. School has so far witnessed more

than 1000 sessions. Last year we conducted more than 70 sessions by learned experts. Our rich Digital Video

repository of all the sessions is an excellent academic reference.

Cultural festivals, Social Awareness Sessions, Community Outreach activities, Healthcare and Yoga camps, activities

involving Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Mathrubhumi SEED unit, Nature Camps, Tribal Welfare, SPIC MACAY,

Samskriti, Kayikamritam, Kalamritam, Amrita Veechi Orchestra, Dramatics Forum and Amrita Kala Vedi are all

opportunities for nurturing the varied blend of innate talents and positive outlook of the youngsters.
