His idea of founding such a school was to locate it far away from the maddening crowd wherein peace prevailed and it would be an Abode of Peace—Shantiniketan. This seed-thought germinated and fructified when he founded his own school in 1901, Shantiniketan, near Bolpur in the District of Birbhum, West Bengal.
Tagore had a great fascination for our ancient Gurukula system of education wherein nature in all its pristine glory and splendour played a decisive role in moulding the child and develop its creative talent. He always remembered his early train journeys in the West in the rural side which left an indelible impression of inward joy and peace when he was in the midst of Nature. This type of environment, he felt, was possible only when the school was founded in the midst of nature in the form of a Gurukula. He always held the firm view that education is a universal subject for promotion and whatever new ways are explored to promote education in its correct perspective, it should be open to one and all without any geographic boundary. He said “Our forefathers did spread a single white carpet where the entire world was cordially invited to take its seat in amity and good fellowship. This should be the spirit with which we should welcome the whole world to join us in our new venture in education”. This was the spirit with which he founded the Shantinikethan which eventually blossomed into the Vishwabharathi University in 1921. He aptly chose the mantra from the Rigveda -- “Yatra Vishwam Bhavati Eka Needam” as the motto of the University which means ‘Where the world becomes one single nest’.

Answer:
Tagore’s Shantmiketan was established in a rural setting, 100 kilometres away from Calcutta. As it was far from the din and bustle of the city it was an abode of peace.
