Education, Culture and Sustainability: The Living Tradition of Visva-Bharati

Author(s) Ms. Sanjukta Sarkar, Dr. Umakant Prasad
Country India
Abstract Tagore was one of the earliest educators who envisioned education which was deeply rooted in one's immediate surroundings with connecting to the cultures of the wider world. From the very beginning, Santiniketan was inspired by Tagore on the beliefs of humanism, internationalism and sustainable development with the goal to make its students self-reliant, self-dependent and self-respectful (Sarkar, 1961). The rural paradise of Santiniketan has been a great centre of art, education, human values, cultural interchange and internationalism (Ghosh, 2025). The cultural events and melas of Santiniketan like Poush Utsav, Nandan Mela, Magh Mela, Anand Bazar and Rathindra Mela etc. have great role in social, cultural and economic development of the people and their environmental awareness towards water conservation, tree plantation, soil fertility conservation, using vermin post instead of chemical fertilizers. During these cultural events, the entire campus has a festive environment with baul songs, tribal dances, different instrumentation and other cultural programmes throughout the campus and township which is a great attraction for tourists from West Bengal and different part of the country (Ray, 1995). Thus, these fairs play a significant prosperity and economic empowerment of the people, Strengthening cultural integration and different kinds of handicrafts, social awareness and commitment on different social issues and promote gender equality and women empowerment.
