October 10, 2024 09:16Maharashtra Governor C
P Radhakrishnan on Thursday expressed grief over the death of veteran
industrialist Ratan Tata and described him as the conscience keeper of
the industry and the nation.
Ratan Tata, 86, Chairman Emeritus of
the Tata Group, breathed his last in a Mumbai hospital late Wednesday
night.
In a condolence message, the governor said, "Shri Ratan Tata
was one of the brightest jewels of the global Tata empire founded by
late Jamshedji Tata 150 years ago. Adopting modern management practices,
Ratan Tata established the Tata Group as a trusted Indian global brand,
without ever compromising with the vision of the founding fathers."
The Tata Group has touched the lives of each one of the 140 crore people
of India through its products and services; the credit of which goes as
much to the vision of Ratan Tata as to the Tata group, he said.
At a
time when there is erosion of values, Ratan Tata upheld and safeguarded
the best of ethics and moral values in his personal, social and
professional life, he said. Ratan Tata was truly the 'conscience
keeper of the Indian industry and the nation', the Governor said.
As
the country strives to achieve the goal of Viksit Bharat, adopting the
values of trust, excellence and innovation so dear to him in every field
will be a real tribute to Ratan Tata, he said.
"I pay my tribute to
this great sage, who thought of the sustainable future of humanity,"
Radhakrishnan said in his condolence message. -- PTI
