Detailed Description

Visva-Bharati University is one of India's major Central Govt. funded autonomous university located in Santiniketan,West Bengal. It was founded by Rabindranath Tagore who called it Visva Bharati, which means the communion of the world with India. Silpa-sadana is the one of the department coming under Visva –bharati university, which is founded by Rathindranath Tagore in 1921.He is the youngest son of Rabindranath Tagore. Silpa-Sadana is a pioneering institute in India in developing cottage and small scale industries. It has two units: Training and Extension Wing. Shantiniketan one of the renowned place in India for art and crafts being an engineer turned design student, I would like to expose myself in crafts and craft based design for a holistic design approach. which would introduce me to a new perspective of product design. Also from my two experience in Industry and from the discussion and suggestions from Prof.Rao, Prof.Sandesh and Prof.Kumar Esan the idea of doing the internship in Santhinikethan seems convincing . As a product design student I am very keen to work with lighting design, and from the facilities of shantinikethan pottery is one of the suitable medium to pursue my interest. Hence I choose ceramics as my area of internship
