Chairman of Tata Trust Ratan Tata met with AP Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu on Monday at the CM's camp office in Vijayawada.

Speaking on the occasion, Naidu said this was the first time that such a huge number of villages are being adopted. Before the media interaction began, Mr. Naidu showered encomiums on Mr. Tata, saying he is an icon for Indian industry and that A.P needed his valuable advice for development at the present juncture.

Tata trusts has also conducted a comprehensive household survey in all villagesand identified the activities to be taken up, he said. Ratan Tata right from the Mumbai drove his flight on his own, he turned to be Pilot and drove it way for Vijayawada.

He didn't give a direct reply when asked about the direct investment that the Tata Group may make in the state. At the end of my career, I realise that money can't buy one thing.And that is to create an excitement in your life. "I am sure Mr. Chandrababu Naidu will lead A.P. successfully on the growth path", he said.

Start-ups, which do not emulate start-ups in the US or anywhere in the world, are the ones that excite him. Successful start-ups are those which strike a chord within India and overseas as well as reflect the confidence investors have in them, he told in response to a question from a young entrepreneur.

The villages will be developed in Vijayawada constituency and Tata Trusts will work towards community empowerment and improve the overall quality of living through an integrated multi-thematic approach in the region.

AP govt inks pact with Tata Trusts to develop 264 villages http://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/ap-govt-inks-pact-with-tata-trusts-to-develop-264-villages- 115082401377_1.html

Tata Trusts today signed an MoU with the Andhra Pradesh Government to develop 264 villages in Vijayawada Lok Sabha constituency to work in bamboo cultivation, fisheries, health and nutrition and village development.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu said it is the first time that such huge number of villages are being developed by a single institution or Trust in the state.

Tata Trusts Chairman Ratan Tata was present at the time of pact signing.

"This will set an example in the country as it will be mentored by industry titan Ratan Tata. I'm impressed with the background work and research Tata Trust has done on these villages," the Chief Minister said.

Tata said he will advise the AP CM to bring more industries to the state.

"I will advise him (Chandrababu Naidu) on bringing new industries and ideas to Andhra Pradesh. At the end of my career, I realise that money can't buy one thing...And that is to create an excitement in your life. At this point of time, to be associated with Chandrababu Naidu is what creates that excitement within me. The new state will have every bit of support that I can personally give," Tata said.

In an interactive session with industrialists, Tata shared his views on the start-up ecosystem and about the way he chooses to support start-ups in the country.

"The kind of start-ups that excite me are those which do not emulate start-ups in the US or anywhere in the world. Successful start- ups are those, which strike a chord within India and overseas as well as reflect the confidence investors have in them," he said in response to a question from a young entrepreneur.

Explaining his views on the technologies that need attention in India on being asked by a woman entrepreneur, Tata said applications of technology that meet energy challenges, issues of clean and safe drinking water and health are the issues India needs to look at.

"Ratan Tata is a symbol of India and its industrial might. He has shown how to carry out ethical and moral business. This has made his Group sustainable," Naidu said.

Member of Parliament Kesineni Srinivas is the person to bring the proposal to Mr. Ratan Tata to endorse Tata Trusts' initiative of developing 264 villages in Vijayawada constituency, a press release from the state government said. Back to Index

AP poised for great future: Tata http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/andhra-pradesh/ap-poised-for-great-future-tata/article7576723.ece

Here is a morale booster from Tatas to Andhra Pradesh which is aspiring to build a world class capital besides an industrial ecosystem. Ratan Tata, Chairman Emeritus of TATA Sons and Chairman of TATA Trusts, has expressed confidence that various corporate houses including the TATA Group will be interested in having a presence in the fledgling State of Andhra Pradesh.

"I can say for sure the future of A.P is going to be great with the kind of plans, resources and leadership it has", Mr. Tata said.

Addressing a press conference along with Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu after a meeting with industry captains in Vijayawada on Monday, Mr. Tata said the future of any State was dependent on its leadership. With Mr. Chandrababu Naidu in the saddle A.P is poised to become a model for others. "I am sure Mr. Chandrababu Naidu will lead A.P. successfully on the growth path," he said.

Earlier, Mr. Chandrababu Naidu said Mr. Tata positively responded to lend the TATA Trusts' (Sir Dorabji Tata Trust and Sir Ratan Tata Trust) expertise in promoting start-up companies and incubation centres in the State. Mr. Tata also agreed to travel across A.P to look at sectors to which the TATA Trusts could possibly extend a helping hand.

"I had requested Mr. Tata to invest in the combined State of Andhra Pradesh when I was Chief Minister. He will fully support us now also", Mr. Naidu claimed.

Asked whether the government has invited TATA Group entities like TCS to foray into A.P in a big way, Mr. Naidu said he had a detailed discussion with the Group Chairman Cyrus Mistry during the latter's visit to Rajahmundry for Godavari Pushkaram. Various issues are under examination. Hopefully they would come out soon with concrete plans. "I am sure TATA Trusts will have a larger stake in the development of Andhra Pradesh in the future with the present partnership for development of 264 villages in Vijayawada Lok Sabha constituency serving as a turning point in the State's history," Mr. Naidu added. Before the media interaction began, Mr. Naidu showered encomiums on Mr. Tata, saying he is an icon for Indian industry and that A.P needed his valuable advice for development at the present juncture. TATA Trusts Executive Trustee R. Venkataramanan, Vijayawada MP Kesineni Srinivas, Ministers Devineni Umamaheswara Rao, P. Sujatha, Kollu Ravindra and Mayor K. Sridhar were present.

Tata Trusts, headed by Ratan Tata to develop 264 villages in Andhra http://social.yourstory.com/2015/08/ratan-tata-develop-264-villages-in-andhra/

Tata Trusts signed an MoU with the Andhra Pradesh Government to develop 264 villages in Vijayawada Lok Sabha constituency to work in bamboo cultivation, fisheries, health and nutrition and village development. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu said it is the first time that such huge number of villages are being developed by a single institution or Trust in the state. Tata Trusts Chairman Ratan Tata was present at the time of pact signing.

"This will set an example in the country as it will be mentored by industry titan Ratan Tata. I'm impressed with the background work and research Tata Trust has done on these villages", the Chief Minister said. Tata said he will advise the AP CM to bring more industries to the state. "I will advise him (Chandrababu Naidu) on bringing new industries and ideas to Andhra Pradesh. At the end of my career, I realise that money can't buy one thing and that is to create an excitement in your life. At this point of time, to be associated with Chandrababu Naidu is what creates that excitement within me. The new state will have every bit of support that I can personally give", Tata said. In an interactive session with industrialists, Tata shared his views on the startup ecosystem and about the way he chooses to support startups in the country. "The kind of startups that excite me are those which do not emulate startups in the US or anywhere in the world. Successful startups are those, which strike a chord within India and overseas as well as reflect the confidence investors have in them," he said in response to a question from a young entrepreneur. Explaining his views on the technologies that need attention in India on being asked by a woman entrepreneur, Tata said applications of technology that meet energy challenges, issues of clean and safe drinking water and health are the issues India needs to look at. "Ratan Tata is a symbol of India and its industrial might. He has shown how to carry out ethical and moral business. This has made his Group sustainable," Naidu said. Member of Parliament Kesineni Srinivas is the person to bring the proposal to Mr. Ratan Tata to endorse Tata Trust's initiative of developing 264 villages in Vijayawada constituency, a press release from the state government said.
