J.R.D. TATA - CHARISMATIC PERSONALITY

When we are rich with money, we find a place in statistics. When we are rich with character, we get instilled in people’s heart.

They sow seed of money, in order to reap benefit for people. If their motive was money, they would have diminished due to acid test of time. But their motive was to develop people of India, so only they exist as one of largest company for more than a century. They are empires of Tata.

Following Sir Dorabji Tata, son of Sir Jamsetji Tata, Sir Jehangir Ratanji Dababhoy Tata (shortly J.R.D. Tata) took position as a chairman of the Tata & sons, in 1938. Initially, with 14 companies under Tata group, when he started, had grown into 95 companies, when he died during 29th November 1993.

All the predecessors of J.R.D. Tata, where involved in philanthropic activities and valued human power more than money power.

J.R.D. Tata was instrumental in starting many institutions, which aided in development of India, they are:
· The Tata Memorial Centre for Cancer, Research and Treatment, Bombay, 1941
· The Tata Institute of Social Sciences, 1936 (TISS)
· The Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, 1945 (TIFR)
· The National Centre for Performing Arts.
· The Indian Airlines (initially started as Tata Airlines)


J.R.D. Tata says, “When we want to win people, we have to win by character and kindness.” He won heart of many people through his humane character.

He always devoted time in designing path for development of India. He was the pioneer in starting “The Family Planning Programme”, before Government of India started officially, when our country was identified as over-populous nation.

He was awarded with highest Indian civilian award, “Bharat Ratna” and in that special speech, he exclaimed, “India will be super-power in forthcoming years, predicts an economist, but I want to see India as one of the happiest nation”.

J.R.D. Tata quotes, “Never start anything with diffidence, but with confidence”.

J.R.D. Tata believed in, “Common people have an appetite for food; uncommon people have an appetite for service”.

J.R.D. Tata’s initiated institution will lend its hand to help people, for years to come. Though he has physically died, but, not mentally in minds of people.
