The condolence messages

1. Entrepreneurship is an effective way to build a society. Industry takes the nation on the path of progress. The only condition is that one needs to have intense patriotism and sincere compassion for the society. We have lost a philanthropist, visionary and patriotic mentor Ratan Tata.

2. He was a noble son of Maharashtra, self- disciplined, transparent governance and observing high ethical values while running big businesses. He made a mark at the international level for himself and India. We have lost the base pillar of our nation.

3. His ethical values will be guiding light for the other industrialists and the future generations in the world of industries. He was a man of principles, a Karmayogi.

4. At the time of Mumbai terror attack he showed tremendous resilience. At the time of Corona epidemic Ratan Tata promptly offered 1,500 crores to the Prime Minister’s relief fund. Most of the Tata canteens were made available to the patients.

5. He never compromised on the values laid by the Ethical department of Tata Group. The Cabinet shares the grief of the vast Tata Group family. May his soul rest in peace. On behalf of the citizens of Maharashtra, the State Cabinet pays heartfelt tribute to the great son of our nation.
