These industries, along with the government, are promoting and funding small scale enterprises, and are taking initiatives to boost the startup ecosystem. We have used Exploratory and cross-sectional research design. We have studied sustainability in a single snapshot of the critical industries in Jharkhand. We have collected data through interviews, journals, articles, annual reports and sustainability reports. The findings reveal that innovation is a vital element for sustainable business. This study also shows the impact of sustainability measures undertaken by these industries in the development of rural Jharkhand. It further lays down a conceptual foundation model along with policy and strategy level implications.
