00 Kolkata Walk I - Ronald Ross Memorial Plaque at the Gate

Kolkata Walk I

Coordinates: 22.5410° N, 88.3420° E
Address: S S K M Hospital, Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Road, Bhowanipore, Kolkata - 700020, West Bengal, India
Founded by: Job Charnock

It was a walk from Exide Mode on Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Road through Hospital Road, Queens Way, Cathedral Road and Chowringee Road. The walk covered Ronald Ross Memorial Gate, Victoria Memorial Hall, St. Paul’s Cathedral, M. P. Birla Planetarium and ended at New Market. This was the Calcutta established in 1686 by Job Charnock and undergone innumerable transformations. This was a walk of discovery of The City of Joy, which was once the capital of India. This was a discovery walk for me as to confirm whether it is indeed the place of Indian renaissance. In that process, I learnt that there are very many things which I have to unfold to know about this multi-layered city.
