A UNESCO World heritage site. Shantiniketan means the abode of peace – long before it became the name of a place, was the name of the guest house Maharshi Debendranath Tagore, father of poet Rabindranath Tagore had built.

To actualise this vision, the ashram set up by his father was converted into an open air school.

It was recognised as a central university in 1951.
