Amrita University inaugurated the Amrita International School of Law (AISL) at its Coimbatore campus in Tamil Nadu on September 11, 2025. Amma’s vision is to offer legal education that combines professional expertise with ethics and compassion. This will inspire lawyers who champion human rights, promote peace, and lead efforts towards a just and equitable global order.

With a strong emphasis on fostering inclusivity, and social responsibility, the goal is to emerge as a premier international institution in legal education, practice, and research in a rapidly shifting world of digital technologies.

As we enter an era of Artificial Intelligence, 3D printing, and the Internet of Things, it is important to remember that the ultimate deciding factor in our lives will always be the human element guided by values,” he said in his address.
