Speaking on “Science and Technology for Survival,” Dr. Maneesha Ramesh emphasized the necessity of a compassionate, human-centric approach to disaster management. Inspired by Amma, Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, Amrita’s landslide early warning systems now safeguard communities across India’s Western Ghats and Northeast regions, utilizing advanced AI and sensor technology.
