Answer 1

The rural education centre established by Rabindranath Tagore is called Shantiniketan.
Tagore set up Shantiniketan in West Bengal as an experimental school that blended the best of Eastern and Western learning.
He believed education should be natural and connected to the environment, arts, and culture.
Shantiniketan grew into Visva-Bharati University, which still promotes Tagore’s vision of holistic education.
It encouraged learning in an open environment, close to nature, and with an emphasis on creativity.
