Abstract :
The Humanitarian Focus at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham intensity of social issues, whether urban or rural, is never far from sight. India’s technological prowess, allied with the renowned jugaad (frugal innovation) attitude, as well as the Vedantic spirit of seva (selfless service), creates a highly fertile soil for innovation that supports the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 13, and 17 (https://www. un. org/development/desa/disabilities/envision2030. html). Since 2013, Amrita has offered courses with human-centered design training for students from any discipline.
