Jamshedpur, July 29, 2019: Tata Steel, today, celebrated the 115th birth anniversary of Bharat Ratna recipient Jehangir Ratanji Dadabhoy Tata (JRD), the fourth and the longest-serving chairman of Tata Sons, a tenure that started before India won its political Independence from Britain and ended with the economic liberalisation in 1991.
Modern India proudly stands on the shoulders of pioneering Indians and JRD Tata was among the tallest who left their indelible mark not just on the country’s industrial landscape but also in the fields of aviation and corporate social responsibility decades before they became symbols of growth and progress of our nation.
Honouring his memory as a pioneering industrialist and a lifelong enthusiast of flying, various activities were organised today by the Company across its operating locations.
Tata Steel employees, general populace including youngsters and students in various locations – Jamshedpur, Kalinganagar, Kolkata, Bhubaneswar, RM locations (Naomundi, Joda, Jharia, West Bokaro, Sukinda) and Gopalpur – participated in large numbers to remember and honour JRD Tata and his life-long work in strengthening the foundation of modern industrialised India.
