About BNR RC

Est. 1929

It was 1929 when the BNR Recreation Club was officially established — rooted in the golden era of Bengal's railway culture. Originally known as Bcontrol, the club later rose to fame as BN Railway, and after the formation of South Eastern Railway Sports Association, became widely celebrated as BNR across Kolkata Maiden.

From its very inception, BNR RC was primarily associated with Cricket — a sport that defines the spirit of this legendary club. Decades of passion, dedication and raw cricketing talent have shaped this institution into one of Kolkata's most respected cricket academies.

Today, practice at BNR RC is conducted under the expert supervision of Coach Ananta Saha, who carries forward the club's century-old legacy with unwavering commitment and modern training excellence.
