From the time of barter system to the modern era of plastic money, the mankind has travelled an impressively long journey. Undeniably, “ profitability ” has been the major source behind all the efforts being made by the business in particular and society in general. This profit motive has not only benefited in the form of growth and development of present and future generation but has also supported the growth of cut throat competition and business rivalries which has threaten the peaceful co-existence of business and society. Hence, business houses have realized that they would have to raise over and above the profitability and take care of all those associated with their survival in the society directly or indirectly. This realization resulted in the evolution of the concept of Sustainable Development. This research paper moves around developing an understanding about the Sustainability, exploring into its concept and finding out its scope taking the case study of the Vedanta which has demonstrated the sense of responsibility towards the upliftment of common masses and protection of the environment and sustainable development of the nation for today as well as tomorrow.
