Education and culture are two invaluable gems, without which humanity is akin to animals. Education is the divine light that dispels the darkness of ignorance, guiding humanity towards truth, knowledge, and wisdom, while culture is the soul of any nation. Culture encompasses the social qualities and behaviors of people, including customs, conduct, traditions, religion, and beliefs. Education provides individuals with knowledge, self-confidence, and an ideal life. The sacred Indian culture, which considers guests as "God," is the foundation of humanity, love, philosophy, knowledge, national unity, and world peace, connecting us to our roots and helping us develop a global society. Together, these two play a crucial role in the holistic development of individuals and society. The educational ideas on 'education and culture' of Rabindranath Tagore, the composer of the Indian national anthem, a cultural ambassador who spread our culture to every corner of the world, a world-renowned poet, writer, and great philosopher, serve as a 'lighthouse' for today's modern education system. He shows us practical paths that lead us from darkness to light, which are considered the foundation of today's "global education." The multidisciplinary, holistic, and experiential education discussed in the National Education Policy (NEP-2020) has been successfully implemented by Tagore's Visva-Bharati for the past 100 years. Visva-Bharati is a vibrant laboratory of education and culture.
