College Street, famously known as Boi Para (the “Book Market”), is one of the largest second-hand book markets in the world. Stretching through central Kolkata, it is lined with countless bookstores and stalls selling academic texts, rare editions, and affordable used books. The area is also home to prestigious institutions like the University of Calcutta and Presidency University, making it a vibrant hub of education, intellectual exchange, and student life.
