 A Vision Translates Into Tradition

Let industry established in the countryside adopt the villages

in its neighborhood; ...it is also clearly in the interests of industry
that surrounding areas should be healthy, prosperous and
peaceful.
J R D Tata, Chairman, Tata Group 1938- 1993

I do believe that we, in the Tata Group, have held a view and
sense of purpose that our companies are not in existence just to
run our business and to make profit but that we are responsible
and good corporate citizens over and above our normal
operations
Ratan N Tata, Chairman, Tata Group
