The invitation of Sylvain Levi (1863-1935) in 1921 to Santiniketan may be termed as the starting of scientific research on Buddhist Studies at Visva-Bharati. Rabindranath Tagore himself was a student in the classes of Professor Levi in the early twenties along with M.V. Shastri and P.C. Bagchi (1898-1856). The research contributions of P.C. Bagchi and M.V. Shastri to Buddhist Studies through the medium of Chinese, Tibetan and Japanese at Visva-Bharati became of extreme importance for later scholar generations. </span></div> <div style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;Times New Roman",serif">            In 1925 the Italian Government under Mussolini sent Giuseppe Tucci (1895-1984), an Italian scholar of oriental cultures, specializing in Tibet and History of Buddhism to Santiniketan, where he taught Italian and Chinese languages and also studied Buddhism, Tibetan and Bengali.

Bagchi in 1954, Buddhist Studies continued in study and research in separate Department of Visva-Bharati. Great contributors to Buddhist Studies in the last decades were by venerable mChi.Med Rig. ’Dzin Lama (1954-1985), Lama Chimpa (1928-2011) and S.K.
