    The inauguration of potable water systems under Amrita’s ongoing ‘Jivamritam: Clean Drinking Water Project’ took place at the Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre. Each ‘NUFiltration’ device can purify eight litres of water per minute without using electricity, thereby serving a community of at least 500.
