VISVA-BHARATI
VISVA-BHARATI Founded by the first non European Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Thākur (popularly known as Tagore) in 1921, Visva-Bharati was declared to be a central university and an institution of national importance by an Act of Parliament in 1951. The emblem of this university has a clockwise spiral surrounded by two circular layers of petals of lotus and supported on left and right by clockwise and anti-clockwise swastikas respectively.Above these its name is written in Devanagari and below the name of the place. The colour red symbolises energy, power and enthusiastic dynamism; the clockwise spiral symbolises positive growth and momentum; lotus symbolises purity, knowledge and wisdom and the swastikas symbolise divine power and energy. All these are ensconced in a square border.
