Swadeshi Jagaran Manch deeply mourns the sad demise of one of the greatest industry leaders of India and the world, Padma Vibhushan, Shri Ratan Naval Tata.  Continuing the legacy of the first Swadeshi large steel industry, from the days of pre-independent India, life of Shri Ratan Tata has been a source of inspiration for the budding entrepreneurs of not only of our country, but the whole world. 

Profit has never been a sole motive of Tata Group and principle of taking care of the workers, poor and downtrodden has always been their guiding force under the visionary leadership of Shri Ratan Tata. 

With his sheer determination ,he took Tata Group businesses including steel, automobiles and aviation, to the global level. His visionary leadership always made India proud. 

What makes  Tata Group distinct from the other business houses is that Tata group under  leadership of Shri Ratan Tata, has always been pro-worker, pro people and especially the poor people. He once said that when he saw a poor family waiting for a bus under heavy rain, the idea came to his mind to manufacture a small car which is affordable by the ordinary man, and he accomplished the task of world’s cheapest and affordable car.

He had always been a guiding force to the policy makers. Ratan Tata with his visionary, leadership to the Tata group had always won the affection, admiration and loyalty of the workers, consumers and the common man.  He has been the torch bearer of swadeshi movement of self employment and entrepreneurship to brighten the path for young entrepreneurs. It was Tata Group amongst all big industrial houses, which not only provided full salary to their employees during Covid19 pandemic, but also ensured that the families of those who lost their lives during Covid19, will continue to get full salary till the date of their retirement.

Activists and leadership of Swadeshi Jagaran Manch from every nook and corner of the country pay heartfelt tribute to Ratan Tata.
