ALT mrita University at THE World Academic Summit 2026 | Cape Town From critical thinking in classrooms to community‑based learning in villages, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham shared how higher education can thrive in the age of AI. Dr. Maneesha V. Ramesh, Pro Vice‑Chancellor, spoke on how South Asia’s universities can remain rooted in culture while becoming globally competitive.
