The Maharashtra cabinet passed a resolution urging the Centre to confer the Bharat Ratna on the late industrialist. Tata has been feted with the country’s second highest civilian honour Padma Vibhushan. The resolution said entrepreneurship is an effective way for the growth of the society.
It said that setting up new businesses can lead the country on the path of progress and development. “It also requires love for the country and honest feelings for society’s upliftment. We have lost a visionary leader who was committed to the country and society.
Tata’s role in the industrial sector and upliftment of the society was unparalleled. He tackled all challenges by adhering to high morals, transparent and clean business administration with discipline,” it said.
Ratan Tata will always be remembered for his firm determination after the 26/11 terror attacks and contribution of Rs 1,500 crore to the PM Relief fund for the fight against COVID-19. He had opened all hotels of the Tata Group for COVID patients.
The Taj Mahal Hotel, run by a Tata Group company, was among the places in Mumbai targeted by terrorists on November 26, 2008.
