Abstract: For sustainable development, the 'Self-Reliant India Mission' was announced with the economic package to revive the Indian economy battered due to COVID-19 pandemic. Government of India has been planning and implementing various tremendous schemes/programmes for making India self-sufficient and self-reliant including Self-Help Group-Bank Linkage Programme (SHG-BLP) which is one of the initiatives of NABARD for making rural people self-dependent. This paper aims to investigate the role of SHG-BLP in achieving the goal of social sustainability. For empirical analysis, data on the performance of SHG-BLP and other initiatives taken by NABARD have been considered. The analysis explored that SHG-BLP and other initiatives are working as an energy booster for Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and pathways for social sustainability by making Indian rural people self-dependent.
