Abstract: During last few decades a number of investment plans for strengthening the rural infrastructure have been designed and implemented. Quality health and education can boost the growth of rural economy. Most of the poor lives in rural areas. Rural areas face number of problems in the process of development. Educational infrastructure is one of the most important among them. Education has the ability to transform the socio-economic condition of a country. Education infrastructure is a crucial component for a country?s development as it increases the skill and knowledge. NEP, 2020 also emphasizes on educational infrastructure and technology integration, as a key, for achieving quality, equitable and inclusive education for all especially in rural areas. In this study, we have tried to explain the importance of infrastructure and status of infrastructural facilities available in rural schools of Bengal. For this purpose, primary data have been collected from different type of school. The secondary data is taken from different research papers, journals, and websites. The result shows that maximum schools have basic minimum facilities; still, there is room for improvement in other. Governments are responsible for provisioning most of the infrastructure needs and formulating policies that safeguard the interest of the poor in rural areas.
