Shantiniketan, initially
known as Bhubandanga situated as a barren land of Birbhum which was owned by
Maharshi Debendranath Tagore, being taken from his zamindar friend of Raipur.
Later his son Rabindranath started schooling over there .as one of the earliest
educators tagore’s educational model has a unique sensitivity within
multiracial and multi-cultural situations.
In India, Tagore
introduced a form of authentic education which he believed was more fruitfull
for children growing up in rural India than conventional, deducting schooling.
children’s minds are sensitive, always realising the joy of knowing this
sensitive receptivity allows them to create own strong conception and sensation
as well.
Tagore believed schooling
never can be confined into four walls, where teaching remains always single
directed. He hated the process which lead the knowledge to be fettered and imprisoned.
Nature is the greatest teacher, knowledge should come from bare horizon. Tagore
aimed to bring the students as closer to nature as possible. According to him
education is all about exploring self-intuition by knowing the surroundings.
Tagore and his shantiniketan
introduced a bare, systematic and disciplined way to educate the students. As
we are floating away with the so-called education system which is completely
apart from Tagore’s educational model, as being regarded with single directed lecture,
memorising textbook, ditached from glimpse of nature .is it really relevant
these days While contradicting with conventional others??? ......... time will
get the answer.
