In the galaxy of modern educational thinkers the name of Rabindranath Tagore, popularly known as ‘gurudev’, is famous not only in his country for his contribution in the field of education; but all over the world. One of the most striking features of his educational thinking is that he considered education as the most effective tool for modernizing Indian agriculture. Tagore did not write any systematic treatise on education. His educational views and ideas are scattered in a large number of essays, letters and his speeches delivered in India and abroad. All efforts have been made to cover all the aspects of education on which Tagore has expressed his ideas and views. It is hoped that this volume also will systematize the ideas of the readers on the subject.
