Abstract

Rabindranath Tagore was a great philosopher, thinker, educationist, musician, poet, and social reformer, and his multidimensional ideas are relevant not only to the present era but will remain relevant in the future. His ideas related to education were innovative and practical as per the needs of society. Those ideas were adopted deeply in his experiments in Santiniketan. His philosophy of education is still important not only from the Indian perspective but also in the world due to new challenges against humanity. He thinks that helping people reach self-realization is the fundamental goal of education. Tagore was a strong proponent of a kid's whole personality development, the idea that each child has unique learning requirements and that everyone should be allowed to study at their own pace. Tagore's pedagogical ideas were indigenous and scientific, which supported stress-free and happy learning experiences for the learners. This idea of a "knowledge of many arts," often referred to as the "liberal arts," The idea of a "knowledge of many arts," also known as the "liberal arts," must be incorporated back into Indian education since it is the type of education required for the twenty-first century. This aligns with NEP-2020, which suggests that all areas of creative human endeavor, including STEM fields, vocational and professional studies, and soft skills—undoubtedly having Indian roots—be considered "arts." This type of education is essential for the modern world. Thus, this policy promotes an interdisciplinary and holistic approach to education with the overarching goal of cultivating each individual's full potential in all areas of their being: intellectual, artistic, social, physical, emotional, and moral. As such, education aims to develop an individual to have skills such as communication, decision- making, creativity, and critical thinking for overall personality development; accordingly, a multidisciplinary approach to education in the form of STREAM has aroused global interest. STREAM education is an advanced learning method that will reshape Indian education, which somehow correlates to the Tagorian education model, in which schooling keeps up with learner’s expectations for innovation-based, flexible, multidisciplinary, experiential learning. This helps learners to develop skills like creativity, cooperation, communication, rationality, flexibility, self- reliance, etc., to prepare them for global competition.
