# Event Details - **Event Name**: The Path to Learn - College Street Walks - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 16 May, 2026 at 05:00 pm – Sat, 16 May, 2026 at 07:30 pm (+05:30) - **Event Description**: The Path to Learn - College Street Walks Saturday, May 16, 2026 5pm to 7:30pm Starting from Sradhananda Park (Gate on Ahmerst Street) Ending at the gate of Calcutta University The coming up of Presidency College (now University), Calcutta University, Hare School, Sanskrit College, Hindu School and later Medical College along with numerous other institutions have made this the exclusive zone of our city. We have called this "The Path to Learn" as with the growth of students came books, and with books came ideas. Slowly, small bookshops turned into endless rows of stalls, making College Street the largest second-hand book market in the world. A printing press was also started here after being introduced in other parts of the city in the old days. In the 1850s, Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar and Madanmohon Tarkalankar had opened a book store named "Sanskrit Press Depository". The shop does not exist any longer, but the corner does. David Hare, a Scottish watch maker turned educationist, started his school in a small room off College Square. The man still lies buried at College Square in his own land, even after 184 years of his death. Here is probably a unique stretch of a road which is nowhere to be found in the world. This stretch houses a mosque, a church, a monastery along with a centre for rational thinkers, and a Theosophical Society. All adjacent to each other with their unique identities and their own past and heritage. For generations, this area has shaped minds. Freedom fighters, writers, poets, teachers and students have all walked these lanes, searching for knowledge. Turbulent past, political rallies and disturbances were therefore prevalent as ideas spread. The riots have left an indelible mark in this area. Revolutionaries fighting against the colonial rule had their secret hideouts here for meetings, in the first half of 20th century. Time moves forward, but this area carries the soul of Kolkata, page by page, year after year.
