Who was the founder of ‘Shantiniketan’?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Rabindranath Tagore
Rabindranath Tagore built Shantiniketan, in the Birbhum district of West Bengal, into a centre of learning: he opened a school there in 1901 and founded Visva-Bharati there in 1921, where teaching was held in the open, close to nature. The land and the small ashram on it had been set up earlier by his father, Debendranath Tagore, in 1863.
