Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -On 22nd December 1901, Rabindranath Tagore established his school at Santiniketan with five students (including his eldest son) and an equal number of teachers. He originally named it Brahmacharya Ashram in the tradition of ancient forest hermitages.

Detailed explanation-2: -The main objective of his school – Shantiniketan was to cultivate a love for nature, to impart knowledge and wisdom in one’s native language, provide freedom of mind, heart and will, a natural ambience, and to eventually enrich Indian culture. For Tagore, religion was an ideal.

Detailed explanation-3: -Standing on the north-western outskirt of the old asrama were the two ancient Chhatim trees.” Rabindranath"s choice of Santiniketan for his school was definitely because of its environment.

While the Visva-Bharati University that is located in the town brings in the young crowds, Santiniketan’s origins date back to 1883.
