Welcome to Rabindra Bharati Society

Rabindranath Tagore (7th May 1861 to 7th August 1941), the great poet of India is remembered for his unique contribution to the Indian art, literature, music and the contextual modernism in the late 19th and the early 20th century. He became the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in Literature 1913. He earned salutation as Gurudev which meant The Great Teacher for his belief in open-air education. He had reservations about the teachings done within four walls of a building. He believed that every person is genius by birth and deserves opportunity to learn.

After the demise of the great poet, a group of eminent intellectuals came forward to establish an organisation which would be dedicated to the task of dissemination the ideals of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore. Suresh Chandra Majumdar, the then editor of Anandabazar Patrika, one of the most prominent regional newspapers came forward to lead the initiative and collected nearly fifteen lakhs of rupees from the general public and formed the RABINDRA BHARATY SOCIETY on 15th January, 1945 at Jorasanko Thakurbari after recovering the properties earlier belonging to Gaganendranath Tagore, Abanindranath Tagore, Samarendranath Tagore and Soumendranath Tagore.

Victoria Memorial Archives

Rabindra Bharati Society has the opportunity to own a bunch of priceless paintings and art-works of Kaviguru Rabindranath Tagore, Jyotirindranath Tagore, Abanindranath Tagore, Mukul Dey, Nandalal Bose and many other renowned artists from Jorasanko Tagore family and Bengal School of Art. Such pictures, paintings and art-works are more than five thousand in number. As those invaluable objects have to be kept and preserved scientifically by applying improved technologies and as the Society does not possess such acumen and technical ability, so the total art-works have been handed over to the authority of Victoria Memorial Hall, Kolkata as perpetual enduring loan, who are engaged with the task of preservation, digitalization etc. The employees of Rabindra Bharati Society and members of the Executive Committee do the job of liaison work with the authorities of Victoria Memorial Hall, Kolkata. There is scope for exhibition of those great art-works either by Victoria Memorial Hall or by the Society by way of written requests from each side.
