Answer 1

Answer:

D. 1901

Rabindranath Tagore established the experimental school at Santiniketan in 1901, where he sought to blend the best aspects of both Indian and Western traditions. In 1901 Tagore founded an experimental school in rural West Bengal at Shantiniketan (“Abode of Peace”), where he sought to blend the best in the Indian and Western traditions. He settled permanently at the school, which became Visva-Bharati University in 1921.
