Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the centenary celebrations of Visva-Bharati University in West Bengal today. His address will be through video conferencing at 11 am. At the same time, the Governor of West Bengal and the Union Minister of Education will also be present on this occasion.
Let us tell you, Visva-Bharati established in 1921 by Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore is also the oldest central university in the country. In May 1951, Visva-Bharati was declared a Central University and ‘Institute of National Importance’ by an Act of Parliament. This university followed the developed pedagogy of Gurudev Tagore but gradually it adopted the model in which a modern university develops. The Prime Minister is the Chancellor of this university.
