Eden Hindu Hostel Details
The building was built out of funds raised by Ashley Eden and the architect was W.B. Gwyther and the contractor was Rai Khetter Chunder Bannerjee.[3] There are 6 blocks called the "Ward" in the hostel. Five of them are in the old building and one as a new construction. The north wing of the old building (adjacent to P.C Sarkar St.) is two storied comprising wards I and II whereas the east wing (adjacent to CU campus) is three storied comprising wards III, IV and V. This is an old styled building with two huge wooden staircases. The rooms are separated by wooden partitions between them. Basu Acharya (Kalyani, Nadia) [4] used these rooms for underground activities to kickstart the Great Libertine Movement of Calcutta.
The hostel has eight guest-rooms having the rental charges of 60 to 100 day. Parents of the students as well as guests of the college are allowed to stay.
