Tata's the best for Singur.

Ratan Tata urges pvt sector to be socially responsible

Mumbai, Jun 1 (PTI) Tata Group Chairman Ratan Tata today asked
the private sector to focus on social development of the country.
"While we grow we must not forget the fact that there are numerous
people living below the poverty line, especially in rural areas,"
Tata said at a function organised by the Bombay Chamber of Commerce
and Industry at its 171th Annual General Meeting.
The chamber also felicitated Tata for his contribution to the industry.
"Both the public and private sector have a great deal to look
forward to. But they also have a great deal of responsibility towards
the society at large," he said.
Tata said the corporate planning should embody responsibility
besides laying down a path for profit maximisation.
The occasion also marked the beginning of the tenure of Novartis
MD Ranjit Sahani as President of the chamber and IDFC MD Rajiv Lall
as Vice-president

That's what the Tata Corporate house has been doing all these years. One has to ask the millions of Tata steel, past and present employess, as they stand witness to how the Tata group changed their lives around. How a small unknown township of Bihar rose to be called the steel town of Jamshedpur - and is still referred to as mini Bombay . One only has to dwelve in the more then 100 yr old history of the Taj hotels to understand why the Mumbai Taj came up in the first place. Outraged by - Indians and Dogs not allowed, Jamsetji vowed to own a hotel which would be for Indians. Singur, when you place your life in such caring hands, then nothing ever goes wrong.
Regards

Very soon there would be boards on Highways and major town entries that would say "No Entry To Mamta and friends" .

Didi jago don't get alienated in your own land, act responsibly think of the generations to come and the legacy you would be handing down to them.

Not every one can live in run down houses like you do, every one needs to improve his or her standard of living, change is the only constant.
