184th Tata Founders Day: The man behind it all

Jamshedpur, the largest city in Jharkhand is also known as Tatanagar or the Steel City. Sir Jamsetji Tata is credited with establishing the city in the early 20th century on the Chotanagpur plateau in the East Singhbhum district of what is called the state of Jharkhand today. The city gets its name from him.

Established by Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata, the Tata group is one of India's largest conglomerates. A pioneering Indian industrialist, Tata lived from March 3, 1839, to May 19, 1904. He was named the greatest philanthropist of the twentieth century, the "father of Indian Industry", and is regarded as a legendary industrialist. The Tata Steel manufacturing facility here has been behind Jamshedpur's steady growth as a steel city.

 

184th Tata Founder’s day: History and theme

In honor of the founding father's birthday and his vision of an industrial future with social welfare at its core, Tata Steel and the other companies of the Tata group hold celebrations each year. Tata Steel first observed Founder's Day on March 3, 1932. D N Madan, chief accountant of Tata Iron and Steel Company, is said to be the first to come up with the idea to celebrate a yearly event in honour of Sir J N Tata on his birthday.

The 2023 theme for Tata Founders Day is "Greennovation: "Green Tomorrow." It will be a grand celebration to honour its founder and the man who made Jamshedpur India's "Steel City".
