Jamshedpur, Oct 10: Tata Steel held floral tribute ceremonies across all its operating locations to honor the memory of Padma Vibhushan Ratan N. Tata. In Jamshedpur, the Centre for Excellence (CFE) was opened to the public on October 10, 2024, allowing citizens to pay their respects to the visionary leader.
Tata Steel employees gathered at Steelennium Hall at Jamshedpur Works to commemorate Mr. Tata’s life, legacy, and lasting contributions to the company and the nation.
Simultaneously, floral tributes were organized at all of Tata Steel’s operational sites, where employees came together to honor his legacy of transformative leadership.
At the CFE, Anand Gupta, a local jeweler, reflected on Ratan Tata’s tremendous contributions to India’s industrial growth, describing him as a champion for workers and the underprivileged. “Tata is certainly a worker and poor-savvy industry,” he remarked.
Industrialist Rounak Agarwal echoed the sentiment, stating, “Ratan, as his name denotes, was a gem of gems. For him, the nation came first, followed by industry and business.” Agarwal recalled how after the Pulwama incident, where numerous soldiers lost their lives, Tata cancelled a contract to supply trucks to Pakistan, showcasing his patriotism.
Deepak Sahu, an employee in Adityapur’s industrial area, highlighted Tata’s philanthropy. “Unlike many companies that limit their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities to their immediate surroundings, Tata’s philanthropic work extended far beyond, benefiting regions without any Tata industry presence,” he noted.
Meanwhile, the Tata Workers’ Union (TWU) held a special tribute ceremony at their office in Jamshedpur, reflecting on the deep connection Ratan Tata shared with the workforce. His leadership was admired for its humanity and genuine concern for the well-being of employees, a bond that was deeply respected by the union and its members.
