Abstract: This study examines the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in India's mining sector with a specific emphasis on National Aluminium Company Limited (NALCO). Specifically, the effect of governance and implementation factors is evaluated in connection with CSR activities. In addition, the study investigates the positive link between CSR activities and sustainable livelihood of local communities. Based on regression analysis, the finding suggests positive and significant effects between the model constructs. These findings provide in-depth insights regarding the nature and implementation of CSR at the ground-level for upliftment and productivity of the local communities and groups. Drawing cues from the empirical findings, the academicians, organisational decision-makers, and policy-developers can formulate targeted CSR strategies and initiatives to improve the living standards of the communities residing in the mining regions.
