Ratan Tata’s important contribution in the development of Jharkhand

This city of Jharkhand was named Jamshedpur after the founder of Tata Group, Jamshedji Nusserwanji Tata. It was the vision of late Ratan Tata that accelerated the development of Jamshedpur and put it on the global map. He first visited Jamshedpur in 1963 to see how Tata Steel worked. He then visited the city in 1965 to hone his training skills. Ratan Tata became the chairman of Tata Steel in 1993. He died on October 9 last year. (Language)
