HISTORY

5. HISTORY
Entered in the second half of the 19th century, Tata has

premier charitable endowment of
the Tatas, was created, propelling
the Tata tradition of philanthropy.

8. Sir Ratan Tata: Jamsetji Tata's younger son had a personality
that reflected his sensitivity to the struggles of ordinary people
and his desire to utilise his considerable wealth to enhance the
quality of public life. A philanthropist all his life, he created a
trust fund for "the advancement of learning and for the relief of
human suffering and other works of public utility." The Sir
Ratan Tata Trust is today the second largest of the Tata trusts.
JRD Tata: The late chairman of the Tata Group pioneered civil
aviation on the subcontinent in 1932 by launching the airline now
known as Air India. That was the first of many path-breaking
achievements that JRD, who guided the destiny of the Group for
more than half a century, came to be
