Founded by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore in 1921,Visva-Bharati University in West Bengal's Shantiniketan town is all set to become the world's first "living heritage university". The university will soon get the ‘heritage’ tag from UNESCO to become the world’s first living heritage university.
Generally heritage tag is accorded to a dead monument. It is for the first time in the world that a living university which is functioning is going to receive the heritage tag from UNESCO.
Rabindranath Tagore, the first non-European to win the Nobel literature prize, was proponent of open-air education and introduced that system at the university, which is still continuing.
