Question

difference between Shantiniketan and Sriniketan

Answer 1

Answer:

Shantiniketan is a Bengali name – meaning 'abode of peace'. Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941) founded a school here amid pastoral settings in 1901, which later developed into the Visva Bharati University, with an emphasis on the study of liberal arts as well as humanity's relationship with nature.

Sriniketan (also spelt Sri Niketan) is a neighbourhood of Surul in Bolpur subdivision of Birbhum district in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is adjacent to Santiniketan and houses the second campus of Visva-Bharati University. The Palli Samgathana Vibhag (Institute of Rural Reconstruction) and Palli Siksha Bhavana (Institute of Agricultural Sciences) are located here.
