Dipak Rout, Pranta Seva Pramukh of Seva Bharati said that Tatas are Parsis, who don’t creamate or bury their cropse. They leave those very high for the birds. Ratan, as his name denotes, he was a gem of gems. For him, nation was first and then industry & business. After Pulwama incident where numbers of soldiers died, Tata cancelled agreement for supplying hundreds of trucks to Pakistan.This refects his patriotism. Pramod Mohanty, Secretary, Saraswati Sishu Mandir told about his philanthropic activities. While other industries, as usual, implement their CSR activities in their periphery, Tata went beyond this skewed mindset. Lots of philanthropic activities are taken in those places where Tata industries do not have any intervention.
