HOSTEL AT A GLANCE:

As  Ramakrishna Mission Brahmananda College of Education is a residential college, its hostel plays an important role in the curriculum of Teacher Education here. The college and the hostel form a single unit. The students are expected to abide by the rules and regulations of the College as well as the hostel without any fail.
Housed in a two storied building, the hostel, known as Saradananda Dham, named after Srimat Swami Saradanandaji Maharaj, one of the direct disciples of Sri Ramakrishna, was opened on 16th June, 1962 by Shri Rai Harendra Nath Chowdhury, Minister-in-Charge, Education Department, West Bengal. It can accommodate at least 100 students very well. The mess is run by the students themselves on the basis of rotation under the direct supervision of the Principal and three Hostel Superintendents (Part time) who are generally members of the teaching staff.

Residing in a hostel with friends (batch mates), senior students and staff promotes a healthy relation among the Management, the tutor and tutee. It gives them a training in community life (i.e. in Jacques Delors’ words: “how to live together”) based on the principles of cooperation, self-service, fellow feeling, team spirit and tolerance.
