Rabindranath Tagore’s writings on different educational problems during the Visva-Bharati Period, apart from those directly on the Visva-Bharati theme. He, therefore, recommends the system of fact-finding educational projects to be undertaken in various fields of surrounding community-life by the students under the guidance of interested teachers, and mentions two such projects that have been proposed to be started in the neighboring areas.
