Background: Intrapartum care should fulfil the need of the new mother and not according to the health care provider’s thought.

The study population was including all consenting women admitted to the labour room in BankuraSammilani Medical College & Hospital, Bankura. The sample size of this study was 100. Reliability of the observational checklist and record analysis proforma were computed by inter-rater method to establish the equivalence of the tool by administering the tool to the 20 subjects.
Results: The findings showed that more than half (53%) of women got good intrapartum care and very few women got (3%) very good intrapartum care.
Conclusion: The study concluded that there is a huge need for improvement in the area of intrapartum care to reach the level of very good care.
