Before the beginning of first class of the newly admitted UG students and after their admission, students along with their parents are invited to join a two-day orientation program held at the community hall of Palli Siksha Bhavana. There, on the first half of the first day, the students are first introduced about “Rabindranath Tagore”, Visva-Bharati University and Institute of agriculture. Later, they are oriented about the course outline, area prospects, Research opportunities, Scope of higher studies and premiere agricultural institutions in India and abroad.
Teachers and students get themselves introduced. Students are told about the do s and do nots and other rules of Visva-Bharati University.
On the second half of the first day students are taken to visit important places of the campus like ‘Rabindra Bhavana Museum (Museum), Central library, Upasana Griha, Kuthi Bari, Silpa Sadana, Chhatimtala, Kala Bhavana, Sangeet Bhavana etc.
On the second day, they are taken to the agricultural farm, dairy farm, horticultural farm, KVK. This is maintained over the years and we consider this a good practice of the bhavana.
As the second good practice we can mention that every year we observe the foundation day of the bhavana on 1st September. The Bhavana came into existence on 1st September, 1963. On that day we invite our retired faculty members, employees, Ex-students who are residing nearby and we organize a seminar on different aspects of Agriculture.
