Amrita Educational Complex , Parippally Amrita Sanskrit Higher Secondary School at Parippally, Kollam District, is a unique school where students have the option to choose between Malayalam, Sanskrit or English as their language of study. About 100 students are getting free tuition in Sanskrit. Orphanage and students' hostel at Parippally is the home for over 500 orphans, tribal children and children from disadvantaged backgrounds. All children are provided with the best possible living and educational facilities. Fans and fluorescent lights have been installed in the dorms, and a generator is provided to ensure a continuous power supply.
Dedicated volunteers look after all the childrens' needs, including health and medical care.
The orphanage always has special needs, and donors are encouraged to join the sponsorship program started by Amma in 1991. This program helps support all the children equally. Upkeep of buildings, provision of equipment, and tuition fees for deserving students are the areas of greatest need. The Pan chavadyam, an ancient musical art form, was traditionally and tenaciously guarded by high caste males, and is still usually taught only to boys through a course lasting 12 years. At Parippally, however, both girls and boys study an intensive 3-year course in this performing art form in addition to their ordinary class work.
