==History==
The history of Ramakrishna Mission Residential College is identical to that of its parent organization, Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama, Narendrapur. In 1943, in the wake of the disastrous [[Bengal famine of 1943|Bengal Famine]], a handful of spirited and dedicated monks of the [[Ramakrishna Order]] set up a students’ home at [[Pathuriaghata]] in North Kolkata.

The home was housed on a small plot of land earmarked for the education of young college and university students. It slowly but steadily accumulated a reputation for nurturing meritorious but indigent students. In 1957, the home was relocated to a larger compound at [[Narendrapur]]. Within a short span of time it acquired an enviable stature under the dynamic leadership and persistent efforts of the late [[Swami Lokeshwarananda|Swami Lokeswarananda]], the founder-secretary, and his team of teachers. The acorn has now grown into a massive oak. The campus of the Ashrama is spread over 150 acres of land, dotted with flower gardens, orchards, mango groves and water bodies. Far away from the squalor and clutter of the city, the Ashrama boasts quite a few centres of excellence, Ramakrishna Mission Residential College (Autonomous) being amongst them.

The college was established on the Ashrama campus in July 1960. Affiliated to the University of Calcutta, its first batch of students commenced classes in August 1960. Much later in 1976, the Higher Secondary Unit of [[West Bengal Council of Higher Secondary Education]] started functioning on the college premises, but was shifted to the Vidyalaya after 2006. Autonomous status was conferred upon the college in 2008. Fully residential, this boys' college follows the same principles and objectives as all other institutions functioning under the aegis of the Ramakrishna Mission.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Our Journey – RKMRC|url=https://rkmrc.in/our-journey/|access-date=2020-06-14|language=en-US}}</ref>

==Campus life==
The campus of the college and ashrama occupies a full of lush greenery area of {{convert|181|acre|km2}}. The college provides several facilities for its students, such as hostels, library, multigym, games and sports and medical facilities. At present, there are four hostels under the supervision of the college:

'''Brahmananda Bhavana''': In the presence of [[Swami Lokeshwarananda|Swami Lokeswaranandaji Maharaj]] (the founding monk of the Narendrapur Ashrama) and other dignitaries, Sri [[Morarji Desai]], then-Finance Minister of India, inaugurated the building. The oldest of all the hostels at Narendrapur Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama opened on 5th December 1958.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Brahmananda Bhavana – RKMRC|url=https://rkmrc.in/brahmananda-bhavana/|access-date=2021-01-13|language=en-US}}</ref> The [[bhavana]] celebrates the birth anniversary of Swami Brahmananda every year.

'''Shree Gouranga Bhavana:''' East-facing hostel. The most unique feature of the bhavana is a centrally located open airspace. Shree Gouranga Bhavana Jayanti is celebrated during the [[Dol Purnima]] with flying colours under the full moon sky.

'''Ramakrishnananda Bhavana:''' The bhavana is a three-storeyed building with an adjoining dining hall. Surrounded by a lush greenery of trees. The bhavana celebrates the birth anniversary of [[Ramakrishnananda|Swami Ramakrishnananda]] every year.

'''Adbhutananda Bhavana:''' The bhavana is a three-storeyed building dedicated to the accommodation of the college students. The bhavana celebrates the birth anniversary of [[Adbhutananda|Swami Adbhutananda]] every year.

The college also provides a well-stocked library.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.india9.com/i9show/Ramakrishna-Mission-Residential-College-29018.htm|title= Ramakrishna Mission Residential College |accessdate=2008-05-20 |work=India9.com|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120529050503/http://www.india9.com/i9show/Ramakrishna-Mission-Residential-College-29018.htm|archivedate=2012-05-29}}</ref> The college building has four floors.
