Abstract	The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009 prescribes the minimum infrastructure requirements to ensure equity and quality in elementary education in India. This study evaluates the adequacy of infrastructure and RTE standards in government primary schools of Murshidabad district, West Bengal. This study is basically based on secondary data sources such as UDISE+ reports, district education statistics, and government documents. Focusing on public primary schools in Murshidabad, this research verifies if such requirements are met by extracting information from national databases, state files, and government documents.Instead of counting students per teacher only, it also examines clean water supply alongside restrooms, open space for play, classrooms, structures, and safety fences around campuses. Even though more buildings exist now than before, some features still fall short when tested against what the rule expects. Progress shows up clearly in construction numbers along with taps providing safe drinking water. Yet hidden weaknesses remain - spaces crowded beyond limit, staff stretched too thin, areas missing essential services despite surface-level gains. Not every block faces the same hurdles - some near rivers or with large minority populations fall further behind. Sanitation works poorly here, teachers aren’t spread evenly, space for play areas feels tight, while internet access drags. On paper things may look fine; in practice they often fail to serve students well. Keeping equipment running depends on steady checks and focused support where it's needed most. Progress hinges less on new buildings than on how carefully existing rules get followed over time.
