Srttannualreport2009-10.Pdf June 9, 2010 MESSAGE The year 2009-10 saw India coming to grips with economic growth, on the one hand, coupled with inflation, especially in foodgrains, as a result of a poor monsoon, on the other. Amidst this scenario, the Trusts continued their focus on promoting agricultural dynamism in different parts of the country, through projects under the thematic area of Rural Livelihoods & Communities. Efforts, buoyed by techniques such as Integrated Pest Management, have shown encouraging results and integration of agricultural activities with microfinance as well as ensuring markets for different crops helped to stabilize the condition of the farmers inspite of drought. Taking forward the learnings from the success stories of our projects, the Trusts are now attempting to replicate these in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra, where distress has driven several farmers to suicide. Consequently, the Trusts have collaborated with the Government of Maharashtra and the International Fund for Agriculture Development to create the ‘Convergence of Agricultural Interventions in Maharashtra Program’ that will reach out to 286,000 households across 1,200 villages, spread over the six distress districts of Vidarbha through end-to-end projects, covering all aspects, ranging from production to availability of credit and development of markets for farmers. Providing potable water and promoting sanitation in order to enhance the health of rural communities also constitutes an integral part of the Trusts’ grant making efforts. Within the Drinking Water and Sanitation programme, community and individual based drinking water interventions are dovetailed with sanitation and hygiene education. Partnerships have been formed or are in the pipeline with several leading American Foundations for collaborative drinking water projects across India. Continuing the trend that has been set over the past several years, disbursals made by the Trusts touched an all time high of Rs. 1.69 billion (US $ 38.52 million). I wish to commend the entire staff for their unstinting efforts that have contributed to the performance of the Trusts, whilst helping transform Sir Ratan’s vision and aspirations into reality.

  • Tata Sons - Passing the Baton.Docx
    C:\Users\Firdoshktolat\Documents\Interesting\Tatas\Tata Sons - Passing The Baton.Docx TATA SONS: PASSING THE BATON By Jehangir Pocha The author is the co-promoter of INX News This article appeared in Forbes India Magazine of 16 December, 2011 http://forbesindia.com/article/boardroom/tata-sons-passing-the-baton/31052/0#ixzz1k4cATEGO There's a continuing thread of history in Cyrus Mistry's appointment as Ratan Tata's successor. But the move is also testimony to Tata's professionalism and sincerity. The passing of a crown is always a delicate affair. In 1991, when J.R.D. Tata handed his to Ratan Naval Tata, his courtiers had rebelled. It took time for RNT to subdue the satraps and prove JRD’s decision on his successor was perhaps his finest. But then JRD was always renowned for his ability to pick men. The circumstances around anointing RNT’s successor exactly two decades later were rather different. The world and the Tata’s had changed. It would take more than an arbitrary announcement from RNT to achieve a smooth succession in what is now one of the world’s largest conglomerates. So, if Cyrus P. Mistry is the first Tata head to have been crowned by a committee rather than a King, and the first from outside India Inc.’s first family, it is a testament to Tatas’ ability to move with the times. Yet, to those who know Tatas and its history, there is also no doubt that there is a continuing thread of history in Mistry’s appointment. Ties between the Mistry and Tata families have been close — and contentious — ever since 1936 when Cyrus’s grandfather Shapoorji Pallonji Mistry bought 17.5% of Tatas’ main holding company, Tata Sons.

  • Strategy Paper for the Sir Ratan Tata Trust, Mumbai
    HIGHER EDUCATION A Strategy Paper for the Sir Ratan Tata Trust, Mumbai PART ONE I. Background and Context for Review and Strategy Paper Following on the CSCS-Bangalore University conference on the Future of Higher Education assisted by the Trust (February 2006), CSCS was asked to prepare a Strategy Paper on higher education with a view to identifying new initiatives in the field. The Trust also requested CSCS to take another look at select past grants (endowment grants, research grants and fellowship grants) and help enlarge the scope of some of the suggestions made in the Krishna Kumar Report on the Education Portfolio commissioned by the Trust (2005). We understand that our Strategy Paper like the Report mentioned above is in preparation for formulating the Trust’s Strategy Plan 2011. Although the SRTT has been making grants since the early twentieth century, the systematization of grantmaking and the professionalization of the Trust was initiated in 1995 with the preparation of a Strategic Plan 2000 (Vijay Mahajan and Girish Godbole, 1995) which suggested five thematic areas including Education. The 2000 Strategy Plan reiterated the need to “do more for education in India” (19), but on the basis of discussions with experts in the field, it was recommended that the Trust focus on “primary education and vocational training…(in) rural areas” (20). The consultants’ belief was that Indian universities and professional institutes ought to raise money independently, starting with their alumni. While this recommendation would have led to a suspension of Higher Education grants, it is to the credit of the programme staff and the trustees that this category of grant-making has not only continued but also strengthened its focus.
