The following is a list of notable people associated with Visva- Bharati University and/or Santiniketan, a neighbourhood in Bolpur city in West Bengal, India: When I decided to return to West-Bengal at the end of 1979, I moved to Santiniketan where I am still based.
Rather, it was the peace and quiet which then still engulfed this small University town, which made me decide to settle there for work on a Ph.D.
More than anything else, it had brought me an awareness of our tradition, which I knew would serve as a foundation for any branch of art that I wished to pursue.
Thirdly, the understanding and relationship between teachers and students was integral in bringing about a positive change in our lifestyle.
The emphasis was on fostering curiosity rather than competitive excellence, and any kind of interest in examination performance and grades was severely discouraged…Since I was, I have to confess, a reasonably good student, I had to do my best to efface that stigma.
