Psychological well-being is closely related to development. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are connected thread. The third goal of SDGs indicates that all the members of nations are required to attain health and well-being. Governments must ensure the health and welfare of their citizens and children, particularly in rural areas. In the current scenario, everyone was impacted by the severe COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, which left a lasting impression. Further, this pandemic severely hampered achieving the SDGs. Even though the importance of well-being in sustainable development is acknowledged, little research has been done on the connection between psychological well-being and the sustainable development of rural children. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the factors fostering psychological concerns and the relationship between psychological well-being and the sustainable development of rural children during the COVID-19 pandemic. An exploratory research design approach was chosen, and a total of 360 rural children were studied in two Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in Dindigul District, Tamil Nadu. Finally, it was found that there was a statistically significant difference between the family circumstances of rural children and their overall psychological well-being, the family income of rural children affecting psychological well-being, children enrolled in government schools had more psychological issues than those attending private schools, and children who did not receive study assistance from home had more psychological issues. The research concludes that the government has to take into account rural children's psychological well-being during the pandemic.
