This short documentary is a story about the power of love, care, and community in creating a brighter future for all. Ramanathapuram, Tamil Nadu is a district steeped in history and spirituality that attracts pilgrims and scholars alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the same time, in today\u2019s modern age, many of its people grapple with real-life challenges such as socio-economic disparities, limited access to quality education, and healthcare services in dire need of progress and equality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As one of India\u2019s most underdeveloped districts, government stats report that 31.27% of families live below the poverty line and 18.4% of its 1.35 million people are Scheduled Caste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To help break the cycle of poverty, Amma established an Amrita Vidyalayam<\/a> school in the city of Ramanathapuram in 2014. In 2018, the second one opened in the district\u2019s municipality of Rameswaram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is well known that education and poverty are inextricably linked. When parents cannot afford to educate a child, the child is less likely to support themselves in the future. The cycle then continues to the next generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With our schools as a foundation, the doors opened to help the community escape poverty, improve health and enhance opportunities. Amrita Hospital, Kochi<\/a> began medical camps to strengthen health and well-being. Free care has reached many interior areas that previously could not even imagine accessing such high-quality treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hearing the voices of these families in Ramanathapuram is just one instance where Amma\u2019s unconditional love is transforming lives and restoring the ancient tradition of vasudaiva kutumbakan<\/em>\u2014one world, one family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
