The President of India appoints the Acharya (Chancellor) and the Upacharya (Vice-chancellor) of theVisva Bharati University - Birbhum.
Rabindranath Tagore's role in the innovation of educational ideas has been eclipsed by his fame as a poet. He was a pioneer in the field of education. For the last forty years of his life he was content to be a schoolmaster in humble rural surroundings, even when he had achieved fame such as no Indian had known before. He was one of the first, in India, to think out for himself and put in practice principles of education which have now become commonplace of educational theory, if not yet of practice.

The genesis of the library in Visva Bharati University - Birbhum goes back to 1901, with the founding of the Brahmacharya asrama at Santiniketan. Rabindranath emphasized the use of books in the educational development of students. He personally supervised the selection of books, remaining alert to the needs of Santiniketan students and teachers and keeping himself aware of what was being published. When he found any lacunae in the kind of books available, he arranged to have books written and published. The central library of Visva Bharati University - Birbhum has today 3,76,531 volumes of books, around 4,000 users and a daily transaction of 300 books. The library has a number of important collections; mention may be made of the collections of Prabodhchandra Bagchi, Pramatha Choudhuri, Humayun Kabir, Satikumar Chattopadhyay, Lila Ray, Ashok Rudra and Abanindranath Tagore.
The library at Visva Bharati University - Birbhum grew under his care with help coming from great minds all over the world. With the evolving of Visva-Bharati, Rabindranath toured Europe and America with the intention of collecting funds. He was often given large donations of books from universities, individuals and groups of well wishers. In 1921, Sylvian Levi and his colleagues at Strasbourg gifted a collection of French classics for the library at Santiniketan. In 1925, the Italian Government under Mussolini sent a handsome gift of Italian classics toVisva Bharati University - Birbhum as part of an offer of inter-cultural cooperation. Andree Karpeles would send books of art and periodicals like Studio International to Rabindranath who in turn gave these to the library. While in Japan, he collected a set of the famous Kokka magazine, renowned for its works of art.

Particulars about charges and other information may be obtained from the Public Relations Officer, Visva Bharati University - Birbhum. The celebration of seasons was always a feature in the 'asrama'. These festivals came to be associated with the special culture of this institution and the introduction of traditional Indian forms and rituals in organizing these festivals, including decoration of the site, use of flowers, 'alpana', chanting of Vedic hymns and blowing of conch-shells gave them a new dimension, aesthetically attractive, intrinsically Indian yet totally secular. Rabindranath felt it was necessary that an affinity be built between the students' minds and the flora and fauna of the 'asrama'.
