The Lake Hall i.e. the Farmers' Academy and Convention Centre (FACC). Farmers irrespective of gender and class come and stay here for days together during their training programmes. Round about 2000 farmers and farm women usually participate in and successfully complete various training programmes throughout the year. Apart from that, scientists, teachers, officers and students from different corners of the country and abroad every now and then come and board here round the year during seminar, symposium, meeting, workshop etc conducted by the BCKV.

The FACC conducted 25 such trainings; thus 750 farmers and farm women participated in these trainings.

The training hall is very well maintaimed. Wonderful place for accommodation in Kalyani. Beautiful scenery outdoors with several flower gardens. Food is excellent.

Lake Hall is a beautiful place in Kalyani. The recent All India strike was a blessing in disguise. To circumvent the logistics of transport related issues I decided to spend two nights at Lake Hall. The Institution authority helped and initiated the booking process. On 7th evening I went to the reception and collected the key of Room No 114. What a lovely view! From the balcony I could see all flowers. A very well maintained garden. The light was inadequate. So I decided to explore the place further on next morning. Though the place does not fall in a 'star' catagory, the room was decent. In winter if the geyser is working it is worth to take a bath before the nap. I did not miss the opportunity and had an uninterrupted night after a long time. Next morning I got up early and explored the rose garden. There was simply a riot of colours.
