Tata Trusts, which own two-third of the stock holding of Tata Sons, are committed to create skilled manpower in the country, in addition to its healthcare commitments, said Ratan Tata, former chairman of Tata Group. Tata is chairman of Tata Trusts – one of India’s oldest and non-sectarian philanthropic organizations. “Trusts are committed to create prosperity among people and do it in a manner that makes a difference,” he added.
Tata was attending the partnership announcement of Tata Trusts and GE Healthcare for training 10,000 youth across various technical areas over a three-year period.
“The partnership brings together two enterprises that have many common values and goals…. The partnership is for skilling young people in healthcare to save lives, which is something different. It is not just to make money or to create headlines…” Tata added. Over the next five years, Tata Trusts will look to train 500,000 youth and promote 5,000 micro and small enterprises.
Speaking on the occasion, R. Venkataramanan, Managing Trustee, Tata Trusts said, “Tata Trusts aim to drive improvement in healthcare delivery by enabling availability of skilled and motivated healthcare personnel.” Livelihoods, natural resource management, data-driven governance, sports, education, health and nutrition, civil society strengthening, media, arts, crafts and culture, relief and rehabilitation and institutions are the key areas of activities for Tata Trusts-mainly Sir Dorabji Tata Trust & allied trusts and Sir Ratan Tata Trust and allied trusts.
