There is hardly any doubt that Brahmacharya Ashrama or the Gurukul System of Education was one of the greatest factors in shaping India’s culture.It evolved along with the ever-fresh Indian culture. Keeping Gurukul System of Education as its ideal, GurukulRamakrishna Mission Calcutta Students’ Home evolved and became one of the foremost educational initiatives inspired by Swami Vivekananda’s visionary ideas on education for comprehensive development of individuals and India as a whole. Ramakrishna Mission Calcutta Students’ Home is a branch centre of Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission having its Headquarters at Belur Math, Howrah, West Bengal, India. The Students’ Home sprawls over 38 acres of lush green land in Belgharia. Having at its heart a Shrine dedicated to Sri Ramakrishna, everything else—hostel buildings, gardens, ponds, a huge lake, playground, agricultural fields—is arranged in such a way as to give the Students’ Home a perfect atmosphere and look of ancient ‘Gurukula Ashrama’, that too around a mega city like Kolkata.
