Dr. Sovan Tarafder, Independent filmmaker, Journalist and Researcher – in his inimitable style portrayed the ‘KGF’- what he termed as the Kavi Guru Factor, tracing its ‘Salebrity’ and iconography amidst the ‘cultured’ Bengali.

 
 
Dr. Agniva Ghosh, Faculty of Modern Indian Languages, University of Delhi, spoke about the significant Freud-Tagore meet and its lack of significant documentation by the poet, who was still unable to dismiss the contribution of psychoanalysis and understanding the mind as Freud did.

CPS and Department of Psychology, WBSU, would like to thank the Honorable Vice Chancellor, the chief patron.
