  • Cultural/Yoga/Games/Sports
    4.1.2 CULTURAL/YOGA/GAMES/SPORTS 1. Cultural Activities The overall ambience of Visva Bharati truly demands exceptionality. Here learning is a holistic all-encompassing process rather than a regulated and stifling experience. Large portions of the campus are open to the general public as Santiniketan and Visva-Bharati are as much cultural pilgrimage spaces as they are educational institutes. The overall ambience of the university is a small town with students, teachers, administrative staff rubbing their shoulders in the common campus space with locals and visitors. It must be noted that entry of visitors into academic classes and spaces during the academic exercise are not permitted. Many of the university’s facilities and spaces – washrooms, roads, museums, parts of the core Ashrama areas during specific times – are open to public viewing and visiting. During cultural events and utsavs in Visva-Bharati’s packed academic calendar, visitors are allowed into the campus especially during the two major events of Vasanta Utsav and Poush Mela. During those times, a large number of Visva-Bharati facilities and spaces are open to the public albeit under careful scrutiny and control. 1. Poush Mela: Poush Mela is celebrated for three days in mid-December that takes place in the large Mela Maath opposite the ashram. Poush Mela is an annual fair and festival that marks the harvest season. The event is characterized by its live performances of Bengali folk music, especially Bauls, tribal dance (Santhali), firework displays. The rows of stalls here sell a wide variety of products like toys, garments, books, household items, utensils and local handicrafts.

Work- ing together with the community is the key principle for the progressive development of society. Keywords social responsibility – higher education – Tagore and Santiniketan (Visva-Bharati) 1 Introduction Turn a tree into a lag and it will burn for you, but it will never bear living flower and fruit. (Rabindranath Tagore) Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are centres of knowledge, intelligent tal- ent, teaching and research. Their ways of functioning and, indeed, their entire existence has both a direct and indirect relationship of responsibility with society, because they are the place where the future workforce is nurtured. Traditionally, HEIs were expected only to perform their core duties of teach- ing, research and extension activities; however, the scenario has now changed. They are now expected to also exhibit their societal importance through these three functions, by taking their knowledge to nearby communities, as a form of social responsibility. HEIs are, thus, not only a place where theoretical knowledge is imparted and degrees are awarded to students – they are also © Sarita Anand, 2021 | DOI: 10.1163/9789004459076_017 This is an open access chapter distributed under the terms of the CC BY-NC 4.0 License.

Situation of the economy is very critical. According to some estimates, India’s economy may have contracted by as much as a fourth in the June quarter because of the Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdown that ensued. The government has taken several measures to revive the Indian economy. It is expected that the economy will return to high growth trajectory soon. While the countrywide lockdown brought most economic activities to a grinding halt in urban areas, rural India continued to be normal in view of exemptions from restrictions allowed to farmers to conduct farming operations. These exemptions helped to maintain continuity in the supply chain. Food Corporation of India and State Governments carried out massive procurement of rabi crops, mainly wheat. A vibrant agricultural sector is a guarantee for meeting the primary needs of the poor, vis-à-vis the rural demand may be maintained. Low crude oil price is also a boon for Indian economy which is largely dependent on oil imports. Covid-related crash in crude oil prices has proved to be a windfall for India. Import bill has reduced, making the current account deficit in the balance of payments more manageable. India is enjoying enormous benefits as a result of the current low prices of crude oil.

    INTRODUCTION SPECTACLE-ONE: The summer has already set in. The time is noon. Exactly 11th March'13. The sun is almost over the head. The land is bare. The paddy cultivation is over. The place is Mirzapur village, near Bolpur, District Birbhum. Three renowned agriculture scientists Professor Dr. Gopal Chandra De, Ph. D. Principal, Pally Shiksha Bhavan, Institute of Agriculture, Visva Bharati also an Advisory Board Member of ICAR. Dr. G. Sarkar, M.Sc. (Cal), Ph. D. Professor of Genetics & Ex Director of Research, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Kalyani, Nadia and Dr. Ashutosh Sarkar, Ph. D. Coordinator & Legume Breeder, South Asia & China Regional programme. All are teaching nearly hundred farmers how to maximize a production of Lentil. ICARDA (International Centre for Agriculture Research in the Dry Areas) has already distributed more than thousand kilograms of certified seed to the selected farmers. Lentil production also nourishes soil. The purpose is not only removing poverty but to join a crusade "Malnutrition Quit India". In brief it is a march towards a new dawn. We know a campaign is going on "BUILDING A TB FREE INDIA". We also remember at the formal start of his papacy, Pope Francis offered a passionate pledge to serve "The Poorest, The Weakest, and the least important". Our Nehru also in his famous speech, from the rampart of the Red Fort at the mid night of 15th August 1947, known as 'Tryst With Destiny', promised to remove Poverty and Ignorance. Nearly two hundred States pursuing the targets of Millennium Development Goals. All have agreed to remove Poverty & Ignorance; we people serving the people the Social service segment have to work as felicitating the change agency of India.

The preacher of Bramho religion and a great philosopher himself, then he decides to create an ashram there as the place he found to be ideal for meditation. Previously, the place was famed as Bhubandanga that was named after a local dacoit Bhuvan but later on it came under the zamindari of the Tagores. According to another source, it is said that previously the place belonged to Bhuvan Shinha which he later on passed to the Tagores to form a ashram there. On 1863, Maharshi Devendranath Tagore founded Shantiniketan Ashram. Later on Rabindranath Tagore himself founded the Brahmo Vidyalaya school and later on in the year 1901 he established his dream the first open air school.
