This primer on Tagore's village reconstruction experiment; formally began in 1921 in rural Bengal where Tagore founded his University Visva-Bharati (1918), is designed to provide insight to students, teachers and practitioners across the world with social issues and community development with the deep belief that all human problems are shared. Tagore remains relevant in the light of the participatory and equitable social work practices that cut across all vectors that divide humanity. This volume integrates the sensibilities of the well-known poet and his lesser-known engagement in developing professional social work principles and practices.
