Educational Philosophy of Rabindranath Tagore is based on fullness and conversion of individual fullness to social fullness. Tagore’s idea of knowledge is based on his educational philosophy. In the first segment of this book Knowledge and Dissemination, Tagore’s vision of knowledge and how he wished to disseminate it to the masses through different indigenous functions, festivals and library system discussed. Rabindranath received Nobel Prize for Gitanjali (Songs Offerings) in 1913 which is a collection of poems from different Kavyagrantha (book of poems). Tagore composed more than two thousand songs, known as Rabindrasangit and letters written by him counts four thousand ninety-eight. The second segment is devoted to bibliometric study of Rabindrasangit, letters written by Tagore and Gitanjali. The copyright of Tagore’s work expired in the year 2001 that the publishing department of Visva-Bharati enjoyed as a monopoly. This provides an opportunity to publish the copyrighted works of Rabindranath by private publishers. An attempt has been made in the third segment of this book Tagore in Print: An Assessment of Quality of Publications to review and analyze publication of Tagore’s work by private publishers considering 2001 as a turning point.
