Palli Siksha Bhavan

He realised that if any section of the Society remains backward, it will adversely affect the other sections. Tagore said "if a true school is to be founded in India, the School must be from the beginning group. The School will make use of the best methods in agriculture, the breeding of livestock and development of village crafts. The teachers, students and people of the surrounding countryside will be related to each other with the strong and intimate ties of livelihood. They shall co-operate to produce all the necessities of their own existence.", Rabindranath sent his son Rathindranath Tagore and a friend's son Santosh Chandra Majumdar to Illinois, U.S.A. in 1906 to learn Agriculture and Animal Husbandry respectively.
