Explanation:

Gandhiji was highly critical of Western civilisation and its worship of machines and technology. Tagore wanted to combine elements of modern Western civilisation with what he saw as the best within Indian tradition.
Tagore emphasised the need to teach science and technology at Santiniketan, along with art, music and dance. Tagore was of the view that creative learning could be encouraged within a natural environment. Gandhi was not opposed to this but emphasised on vocational training of the young.
