Nature in the poet’s school: Festivals of Santiniketan

Santiniketan, founded by Rabindranath Tagore in 1901, revolutionized education by integrating nature into its pedagogical approach. The institution's festivals served as a cornerstone of this philosophy, aiming to liberate learning from conventional classroom confines and foster creativity through open-air experiences. This study highlights how Santiniketan's emphasis on natural settings shaped its educational ethos, reflecting Tagore's lifelong critique of rigid colonial education systems. By analyzing the nature festivals, the research underscores their role in nurturing young minds while challenging traditional pedagogic norms.
