INTRODUCTION

isva-Bharati is a pilgrimage for education and culture. It reflects the Tagorean ethos of making acomplete human being out of everyone. It is a hallowed place of learning cradled in a sereneenvironment in the lap of Nature where Rabindranath founded a school for children at

Santiniketan and it was around this nucleus that the structure of an unconventional university developedthrough careful planning and meticulous execution of those ideas and ideals.

V

In 1863, on a seven-acre plot at the site of the present institution, Debendranath Tagore, the poet's father,had built a small retreat for meditation, and in 1888 he dedicated, by a trust deed, the land and buildings,towards establishment of an Asrama where seekers after truth irrespective of their formal religiousaffiliations, sect, creed and caste could come and meditate in seclusion; a Brahmavidyalaya and alibrary. Rabindranath's school Brahmacharyasrama which started functioning formally from December22, 1901 with no more than five students on the roll, was, in part, a fulfillment of the wishes of his fatherwho was a considerable figure of his time in the field of educational reforms. From 1925 this schoolcame to be known as Patha-Bhavana.

The school was a conscious repudiation of the system introduced in India by the British rulers, and

Rabindranath initially sought to realize the intrinsic values of the ancient education in India. The schooland its curriculum, therefore, signified a departure from the way the rest of the country viewed educationand teaching. Simplicity in externals was a cardinal principle. Classes were held in open air in the shadeof trees where man and nature entered into an immediate harmonious relationship. Teachers andstudents shared the single integral socio-cultural life. The curriculum had music, painting, dramaticperformances and other performative practices. Beyond the accepted limits of intellectual and academicpursuits, opportunities were created for invigorating and sustaining the manifold faculties of the humanpersonality.

After Rabindranath was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1913, he was invited to numerous visits all over theworld and came closely to know a large part of the world and its people. By 1917 the range of his

experience and the restlessness of his exploration led to his own self-clarification regarding the idea of acentre of Indian culture at Santiniketan. The centre as conceived by him was to provide "for thecoordinated study of the different cultures". As "music and the fine arts are among the highest means ofnational self-expression in the proposed centre of our culture, music and art must have prominentseats of honour". This centre should not only be a centre of the intellectual life of India but the centre ofthe economic life as well. Participating thus in all the major spheres of Indian life, the institution wouldattain a representative character and enter into an encounter with the rest of the world.

The institution chose for its motto the Vedic text "Yatra visvam bhavtyekanidam" (where the worldmakes a home in a single nest). On 23 December 1921 Visva-Bharati became a registered public bodywhich adopted a constitution of its own. The aims and object as set forth on the occasion have since thenremained the objectives of Visva-Bharati.

In 1922, the Department of Higher Studies became Uttara Vibhaga to be renamed Vidya-Bhavana in1926. Hindu philosophy, medieval mysticism, Islamic culture, Zoroastrian philosophy, Bengali literatureand history, Hindustani literature, Vedic and Classical Sanskrit, Pali, Prakrit, Chinese, Tibetan, Persian,Arabic, German, Latin and Hindi formed its areas of study and research.

Vidya-Bhavana was the manifestation of the ideal of the proposed centre of comprehensive studies inthe cultures of the East and the West. The centre was viewed principally as a community of scholars,Indian as well as foreign, who would be engaged in creation and dissemination of systematised andphilanthropic reasoning. The concern was epistemological. Those who followed included MortizWinternitz, V.Lesny of Prague, Carlo Formici and Giuseppe Tucci of Rome, Sten Konow of Oslo. They

added a new dimension to the work that was being carried on by a remarkable group of Indian scholars6


7/58

and creative artists of rare dedication, the services of some of whom Rabindranath had secured evenfrom the days of the Brahmacharyasrama.

In 1937, Cheena-Bhavana, the department of Sino-Indian studies was established, and even today itremains, by any standard, an exceptionally remarkable symbol of cultural collaboration. In 1939, theHindi-Bhavana with certain distinct projects of studies was founded. Kala-Bhavana, which wasoriginally the institute for both Fine Arts and Music, came into existence in 1921 but in 1934 it branched

off into two independent institutions, Kala-Bhavana and Sangit-Bhavana, each with its own distinctdiscipline. In generating more informed and cultured interest and more inputs of educationalcomponents, these two institutions played pioneering role in our country.

The Institute of Rural Reconstruction was founded in 1922 at Surul at a distance of about threekilometres from Santiniketan. It was formally inaugurated on February 6, 1922 with Leonard K.Elmhirst as its first Director. Thus the second but contiguous campus of Visva-Bharati came to belocated in 1923 at a site which assumed the name of Sriniketan. The chief object was to help villagersand people to solve their own problems instead of a solution being imposed on them from outside.

In consonance with the ideas about reconstruction of village life, a new type of school meant mainly forthe children of neighbouring villages who would eventually bring the offering of their acquired

knowledge for the welfare of the village community was also conceived. This school, Siksha-Satra, wasstarted in Santiniketan in 1924 but was shifted to Sriniketan in 1927. The Lok-Siksha Samsad, anorganization for the propagation of non-formal education amongst those who had no access to usualeducational opportunities, was started in 1936. Siksha-Charcha for training village school teachersfollowed next year.

A few more institutions were added after Rabindranaths death on August 8, 1941. Rabindra-Bhavana,the archive on Rabindranath and the institute exclusively devoted to study and research on him wasestablished in 1942. In 1948, Vinaya- Bhavana, a teachers training institution, came into being.

In May 1951, Visva-Bharati was declared to be a Central University and "An Institution of NationalImportance" by an Act of Parliament. It was granted the status of a unitary, teaching and residential

university. The status and function of all the major institutions have been redefined in successiveAmendment Acts and the University has continued to grow by giving accreditation to new institutions inresponse to needs newly felt.

The old Vidya-Bhavana started Honours and M.A. courses of the usual type. Siksha-Bhavana, givenoriginally the responsibility of conducting under-graduate courses was split off from Vidya-Bhavana. In1972, when the institutes were restructured faculty-wise, Vidya-Bhavana became the faculty ofHumanities and Social Sciences and Siksha-Bhavana, that of Science. The erstwhile departments of

Sriniketan have been amalgamated into PalliSamgathana Vibhaga (Institute of RuralReconstruction), with the exception of the independent

faculty of Agriculture, Palli Siksha Bhavana whichcame into existence in 1960. In 1976, Uttar SikshaSadana, the Universitys Institute for higher secondaryeducation was started.

The school has reshaped itself into a full-fledgedmodern University with diverse concern and interests.The defining maxim of excellence remains intact.

F

rom the very beginning Rabindranath tried to foster aself-sufficient social life along with new values ofcreative as well as participatory culture. The most joyful

expressions of the community are the festivals which at different times of the year celebrate the cycle ofthe seasons and the diverse manifestations of Nature. Dances and songs presented on such occasionsdraw as much upon Rabindranath as other cultural resources of all parts of India. The community comestogether in these festivals and, for the young students in particular, it is an unobtrusive process ofcultural enrichment.

Certain cultural events and festivals had come down as a legacy from the inception of the institution.

The open-air devotional service that is held on 7 Poush (on or about 22 December) every year under theChhatim tree where Debendranath once meditated is an occasion of particular significance for theinstitution since it is the foundation day of the asrama. In accordance with the trust deed, a mela (festivefair) popularly known as the Poushmela is held to mark the occasion. Another three-day village fair,called Maghmela is held early in February every year at Sriniketan.

There is a prayer-hall, referred to as Mandir, where on every Wednesday a non-denominationalcommunity prayer service is held. This prayer-hall is the place of congregation for all importantoccasions of commemoration for the community. It was the founder's belief that the moral influenceradiating from here would afford a silent but constant guidance to the members of the community.

All in all, Santiniketan is the icon for an attitude, a value, and a way of life which suffuses an educational

process, contains i t, sustains it, yet transfers and transcendsit .

Siksha-Bhavana (Institute of Science) (Code: 03)

Siksha-Bhavana (Institute of Science) was originally an under-graduate college for teaching Humanitiessubjects, which during 1961-63 was expanded to include in its curriculum B. Sc. (Honours) courses inMathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Zoology and Botany. The M. Sc. programme in these subjects wasintroduced during 1963-1968. Finally, due to reorganization of the courses of studies in the Humanitiesand Science subjects, all the Departments in Science teaching undergraduate and post graduate courseswere brought under Siksha-Bhavana (the Institute of Science) in 1972.

Siksha-Bhavana (Institute of Science), consisting of seven Departments and four Centres, viz. theDepartments of Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Botany, Zoology, Statistics and Computer & System

Sciences, and the Centres for Biotechnology, Environmental Science, Mathematics Education andIntegrated Science Education & Research, runs both teaching and research programmes; and has beenawarding B.Sc.(Honours) degrees in seven subjects, M. Sc. degrees in ten subjects as well as Ph.D.degrees in the aforementioned subjects, for roughly four decades.

University Grants Commission in its XI Five-Year Plan has accepted the recommendation of the HighLevel Committee (HLC) constituted by the Honourable President of India to introduce a Five-YearIntegrated M. Sc. in Physical Science under Siksha-Bhavana (Institute of Science), Visva-Bharati. Thecourse is intended for attracting highly motivated and talented students to research and education inbasic sciences. After successful completion of the course, an M. Sc. degree in Physical Science(Physics/Chemistry/Mathematics) will be awarded to the candidates. The course is currently under

progress with effect from the academic session 2009-2010. The students admitted through NationalEntrance Screening Test (NEST) are awarded scholarship @Rs.5000.00 p.m. under the INSPIREProgramme of D S T, Govt of India.

Although relatively young, Siksha-Bhavana has earned national and international recognition due to thesincere efforts of some dedicated brilliant teachers and students over the last four decades.
