Young students of Visva-Bharati should learn from Gurudeb’s life: President

Santiniketan, West Bengal, March 28 (UNI) The young students of Visva-Bharati have to focus on this learning from Gurudeb’s life that one has to come out of one’s comfort zone to be able to make a difference, said President Droupadi Murmu on Tuesday.
Addressing the convocation ceremony of Visva-Bharati at Santiniketan, she said, " Gurudeb Rabindranath Tagore left the comfort of the most important city of the Eastern hemisphere in the early 20th century and came to Santiniketan which was a remote area those days. There is a message for everyone, especially the young students, in this. Pioneers like Gurudeb choose difficulties over comfort to achieve larger objectives. The young students of Visva-Bharati have to focus on this learning from Gurudeb’s life that one has to come out of one’s comfort zone to be able to make a difference. "
The President said, " Gurudeb’s belief that nature is the best teacher is reflected in the way this institution has been designed. "
