Visva Bharati University


by jarmoluk

"Beyond Classrooms"

Visva Bharati University is a prestigious educational institute that was founded by the great poet and visionary Rabindranath Tagore. Tagore insisted on referring it as 'Visva Bharati' that connotes global melange and detested the use of word 'University'. However in 1951, during the post-independence era it was renamed Visva Bharati University. Set in the picturesque and small town Shantiniketan, the university is a true representative of futuristic approach towards education and all-round development of the students. It is the only university that has India's Prime Minister as a Chancellor and President as the Paridarshaka (Visitor). Courses in varied fields like Agricultural Science, Dance, Drama & Music and Humanities & Social Sciences are offered here. Visva Bharati is also affiliated with premier organizations like Bengal Institute of Technology and Management, and IIT. The on-site library is globally known for its rich and diverse collection of books, manuscripts and reference materials. The best time to visit Viswa Bharati is during the festive season of Basant Utsav (Spring Festival) and Poush Mela (Winter fest),when literary and art programs are organized. Notable alumni include Indira Gandhi, Mahasweta Devi, Satyajit Ray and Nabakanta Barua.
