Ratan Tata, the formerchairman of Tata Group.

The Tata Group has donated a 2.20 billion ($50 million) to the prestigious Harvard Business School (HBS) to build an academic and a residentialbuilding on the institute's campus in Boston, Massachusetts. The new building will be called the Tata Hall and used for the institute's executiveeducation programmes.[18] The amount is the largest from an international donor in the business school's 102­year­old existence.

One Tata project that brought together Tata Group companies (TCS, Titan Industries and Tata Chemicals) wasdeveloping a compact, in­home water­purification device. It was called Tata swach which means "clean" in Hindi andwould cost less than 1000 rupees (US$21). The idea of Tata swach was thought of from the 2004 tsunami in the IndianOcean, which left thousands of people without clean drinking water. This device has filters that last about a year long fora family of five. It is a low­cost product available for people who have no access to safe drinking water in theirhomes.[19] The advantage of this device is that it does not require the use of electricity.[20]

TCS also designed and donated an innovative software package that teaches illiterate adults how to read in 40 hours."The children of the people who have been through our literacy program are all in school", says Pankaj Baliga, globalhead of corporate social responsibility for TCS.[19]

In 1912, Tata Group expanded their CEO's concept of community philanthropy to be included in the workplace. Theyinstituted an eight­hour workday, before nearly any other company in the world. In 1917, they recommended a medical­services policy for Tata employees. The company would be among the first worldwide to organise modern pensionsystems, workers' compensation, maternity benefits, and profit­sharing plans.[19]

Trusts created by Tata Group control 65.8% of company shares,[21] so it can be said that about 66% of the profits of TataGroup go to charity.[22] The charitable trusts of Tata Group fund a variety of projects, for example the Tata Swach and the TCS project. They foundedand still support such cherished institutions as the Indian Institute of Science, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, the National Centre for the

Performing Arts and the Tata Memorial Hospital. Each Tata Group company channels more than 4 percent of its operating income to the trusts andevery generation of Tata family members has left a larger portion of its profit to them.[19]

After the Mumbai attacks, Salaries of then heavily attacked Taj Hotel employees were paid despite the hotel being closed for reconstruction. About 1600employees were provided food, water, sanitation and first aid through employee outreach centres. Ratan Tata personally visited families of all theemployees that were affected. The employee's relatives were flown to Mumbai from outside areas and were all accommodated for 3 weeks. Tata alsocovered compensation for railway employees, police staff, and pedestrians. The market vendors and shop owners were given care and assistance afterthe attacks. A psychiatric institution was established with the Tata Group of Social Science to counsel those who were affected from the attacks andneeded help. Tata also granted the education of 46 children of the victims of the terrorist attacks.[23][24]

In 2013, the Tata group, through the Tata Relief Committee and the Himmotthan Society, an associate organisation of the Sir Ratan Tata Trust, has beenworking in close collaboration with the Uttarakhand government to provide relief to the impacted local communities in three districts of the state. Therelief activities, which include provision of food and household material, have so far covered over 65 villages and 3,000 families. In the first phase ofrelief, the group expects to reach over 100 villages. The Tata group also plans to implement long­term measures for the economic, ecological andresource sustainability of the affected communities and areas. The plan, currently under development, will be based on a baseline survey of impactedvillages which is being carried out by teams from the Centre for Disaster Management at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Mumbai, incollaboration with local organisations and communities.[25][26]

Controversies and criticisms

The Tata group has also attracted several controversies and criticisms, including the following below.

Munnar, Kerala

The Kerala Government had filed an affidavit in the high court saying that Tata Tea had 'grabbed' forest land of 3,000 acres (12 km2) at Munnar. TheTatas, on the other hand, say they possess 58,741.82 acres (237.7197 km2) of land, which they are allowed to retain under the Kannan Devan Hill(Resumption of Lands) Act, 1971, and there is a shortage of 278.23 hectares in that. The then Chief Minister of Kerala V.S. Achuthanandan, who vowedto evict all government land in Munnar, formed a special squad for the Munnar land takeover mission and started acquiring back of the encroachedgovernment properties. However, later he had to abort the mission as there were many influential land grabbers and faced opposition from his own party.

Kalinganagar, Orissa

3/4/2015 Tata Group ­ Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tata_Group 12/17

On 2 January 2006, policemen at Kalinganagar, Orissa, opened fire at a crowd of tribal villagers. The villagers were protesting the construction of acompound wall on land historically owned by them, for a Tata steel plant. Some of the corpses were returned to the families in a mutilated condition.When pushed for comment, TATA officials said the incident was unfortunate but that it would continue with its plans to set up the plant.[27]

Supplies to Burma's military regime

Tata Motors reported deals to supply hardware and automobiles to Burma's oppressive and anti­democratic military junta has come in for criticism fromhuman rights and democracy activists. In December 2006, Gen. Thura Shwe Mann, Myanmar's chief of general staff visited the Tata Motors plant inPune.[28] In 2009, TATA Motors announced that it would press ahead with plans to manufacture trucks in Myanmar.[29][30]

Land acquisition in Singur

The Singur controversy[31] in West Bengal led to further questions over Tata's social record, with protests by locals and political parties(though theinvolvement of Mamata Banerjee's party is widely criticized as an act for political gains) over the forced acquisition, eviction and inadequatecompensation to those farmers displaced for the Tata Nano plant. As the protests grew, and despite having the support of the Communist Party of India(Marxist) state government, Tata eventually pulled the project out of West Bengal, citing safety concerns. The Singur controversy was one of the fewoccasions when Ratan Tata was forced to publicly address criticisms and concerns on any environmental or social issue. Ratan Tata subsequentlyembraced Narendra Modi, the Chief Minister of Gujarat, who quickly made land available for the Nano project.[32]

Dhamra Port

On the environmental front, the Port of Dhamara controversy has received significant coverage, both within India and in Tata's emerging globalmarkets.[33][34]

The Dhamra port, a venture between Tata Steel and Larsen & Toubro, has come in for criticism for its proximity to the Gahirmatha Sanctuary andBhitarkanika National Park, from Indian and international organisations, including Greenpeace. Gahirmatha Beach is one of the world's largest massnesting sites for the Olive Ridley Turtle and Bhitarkanika is a designated Ramsar site and India's second largest mangrove forest. TATA officials havedenied that the port poses an ecological threat, and stated that mitigation measures are being employed with the advice of the IUCN.[35] On the otherhand, conservation organisations, including Greenpeace, have pointed out that no proper Environment Impact Analysis has been done for the project,which has undergone changes in size and specifications since it was first proposed and that the port could interfere with mass nesting at the Gahirmthabeaches and the ecology of the Bitharkanika mangrove forest.[36][37]

3/4/2015 Tata Group ­ Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tata_Group 13/17

Protests by Greenpeace to Dhamra Port construction is also alleged to be less on factual data and more on hype and DPCL's (Dhamra Port CompanyLimited) response to Greenpeace questions harbours on these facts.[38][39]

Soda extraction plant in Tanzania

Tata group, along with a Tanzanian company, joined forces to build a soda ash extraction plant in Tanzania.[40] The Tanzanian government is all for theproject.[40] On the other hand, environmental activists are opposing the plant because it would be near Lake Natron, and it could possibly affect thelake's ecosystem and its neighbouring dwellers.[41]

Tata was planning to change the site of the plant so it would be built 32 km from the lake, but the opposition still thinks it would negatively disturb theenvironment.[41] It could also jeopardise the Lesser Flamingo birds there, which are already endangered. Lake Natron is where two­thirds of LesserFlamingos reproduce.[42] Producing soda ash involves drawing out salt water from the lake, and then disposing the water back to the lake. This processcould interrupt the chemical make up of the lake.[40] Twenty­two African nations are against the creation of the project and have signed a petition to stopits construction.[40]

Recognition

The international brand consultancy Brand Finance has ranked the over $100­billion conglomerate, Tata Group, as 39th most valuable brand in theworld.[43] The most recent Global 500 report by Brand Finance shows that despite the controversies, Tata Group's brand value has soared to$15.08 billion for the current year compared to $11.2 billion last year in 2010.[44]

In 2009 the Tata Group was ranked 11 in the world's top 100 reputable companies by Forbes Magazine[45]

In 2011 and 2012, Tata was ranked as India's second most trusted brand by The Brand Trust Report,.[46][47] In 2013, The Brand Trust Report,[48] rankedTata as India's fifth most trusted brand. In 2014 Tata was ranked third Most Trusted Brand by the same report.[49]

In a 2011 investor poll conducted by equity research firm Equitymaster, TATA Group was voted as the most trustworthy among the Indian corporatehouses.[50] Over 61% of the respondents "showed their confidence in the Tata Group". The Tata Group retained its "Most Trustworthy" status in the2012 edition of the poll.[51]

In 2000, its Dewas division was awarded the Rajiv Gandhi National Quality Award.[52]
