Educational Thought of Rabindranath Tagore

Rabindranath Tagore was influenced by his personal lifestyle. He was impressed by the ancient Indian system and there is a clear reflection of that system in his literature. Self education builds up self realization. It is assimilated in education. So a student must have self confidence. Purpose of education is to introduce one with the whole universe. So the syllabus of education is the main bearer of that culture. He was not just a mere poet or writer he was the harbinger of an era of literature which elevated him to the stature of the cultural ambassador of India. Even today, decades after his death, this saintlike man, lives through his works in the hearts of the people of Bengal who are forever indebted to him for enriching their heritage. He was the most admired Indian writer who introduced India's rich cultural heritage to the West and was the first non European to be bestowed the prestigious Nobel Prize. Rabindranath Tagore's educational model has a unique sensitivity and aptness for education within multi racial, multi lingual and multi cultural situations, amidst conditions of acknowledged economic discrepancy and political imbalance.
