Hayden Hall of Darjeeling which was established during 1969 is in fact a noble nonprofit making organization that looks to support the cause of poor people to make them self reliable and self independent.

Located within the busy streets of Laden La road of Darjeeling the fair shop market of the hall interprets the manual work of local people who are living under the line of poverty and can’t even imagine running their life with basic environment. Hayden hall in short is a charitable institution and a journey here would allow traveler to understand the skills of local people who are expert in making local handicrafts like carpet, caps, shawls, bags, scarves, sweaters, clothes and many more.The moment you will walk in the beautiful figurine of Mother Mary would illustrate an instance to understand that it is a Christian charioted institution that looks to mould the basic needs of local people.

Now walking inside the stairs would lead you to the first floor and there you will witness the rooms which are assigned to an administrators and staff of the hall but before you take stairs an open space of main buildings would mesmerize your mind. The kind initiative to start something like Hayden Hall was idealized by Pattons family who purchased the building in 1969 and later the same complex was brought by Irish Jesuit Father Edward Hayden and then the site was renamed as Hayden Hall.

The second complex of Hayden Hall you will witness was acquired during 1972 where an additional service to support the social cause of local people was added. Owing to its importance the third complex was structured during 1996 and there the learning codes of paramedics and adult education was implemented.
