Tata Trusts, group of philanthropic trusts established by members of the Tata family, have assumed a pivotal role in the social and economic development of India. The activities of the trusts range from education and healthcare through rural development to sustainable living. At the time of the appointment of Noel Tata as the Chairman, it seemed that the hour had come for expanding their reach and impact further.
A Legacy of Philanthropy
Rich philanthropic history that’s settled well under the banners of the Tata Trusts, which have been established by the industrialist Jamsetji Tata to start with, represent commitment that people in India and beyond can find improvement in. Through these years, the trusts have supported many projects and initiatives that will prove to last forever in society.
Among the most pronounced benefits from the Tata Trusts, some of the most significant have occurred in the education sector. The trusts established many educational institutions and sponsored the creation of a few others, starting with the premier Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore and followed by the Tata Institute of Social Sciences in Mumbai. Some generations of Intellects have been so created through these institutions.
But education remains only one of the key focus areas for Tata Trusts. They have invested heavily in healthcare, rural development, and living sustainably. Scores of hospitals and medical research centers have seen the face of Tata Trusts, as well as scores of rural development programs. They have also been at the forefront of efforts toward sustainable practices and a cleaner environment.
