Tata Sons Private Limited

Tata group companies are committed to conserving endangered species, safeguarding diminishing habitats, and preserving fragile ecosystems. Guided by international benchmarks for sustainable business practices—and driven even more by choice and conviction—the Tata group invests in initiatives that protect plant and animal life, improve land and water use, and maintain forested areas and green sanctuaries.

The group’s conservation efforts operate on two levels: the initiatives of individual Tata companies, large and small, to protect and enrich the environments around their operations, and the philanthropic work of Tata Trusts, which supports a broad network of NGOs focused on natural resource management, community development, and sustainable livelihoods.

The Tata Group has long been a leader in healthcare, pioneering cancer treatment in India, supporting maternal and neonatal health, and driving rural health initiatives. Its efforts span a wide range, addressing communicable diseases like malaria and tuberculosis, enhancing maternal and newborn care, and increasing access to cancer treatment.

The Group’s healthcare commitment dates back to founder Jamsetji Tata, who provided his mill workers with access to dispensaries at a time when these services were rare in India. This legacy continued with the establishment of the Tata Memorial Centre in 1941, India’s first specialized cancer hospital, followed by the Tata Medical Centre in 2011, both aimed at expanding access to quality cancer care.

Through the Tata Trusts, partnerships with governments, NGOs, and philanthropic organizations have launched impactful initiatives targeting disease prevention, nutrition, and improvements in sanitation and hygiene infrastructure across the country’s remote regions. Key initiatives include:

* Cancer Care: Since founding the Tata Memorial Centre in 1941, the Tata Group has championed affordable, quality cancer care, furthering these efforts through centers and the National Cancer Grid, which standardizes practices for cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

* Maternal & Neonatal Health: Tata Steel Foundation’s MANSI program provides hands-on training to local women health workers, or "sahiyyas," who deliver prenatal and postpartum care in their communities. Covering a population of 5 million, the program has significantly reduced maternal and neonatal mortality rates.

* Nutrition & Food Fortification: Tata Trusts' India Nutrition Initiative (TINI) addresses malnutrition by fortifying staple foods, upgrading anganwadi childcare centers, and training workers as part of the National Nutrition Mission.

* Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WaSH): Tata Water Mission (TWM) focuses on water conservation, quality management, and access to safe sanitation. The program also supports hygiene education and waste management, including menstrual health initiatives.

* Mental Healthcare: With 150 million Indians in need of mental health support, Tata Trusts launched Udaan, an initiative to improve access to mental healthcare and address the gap in services for mental health across the country.

Through these programs, the Tata Group continues its mission to address critical healthcare needs and improve quality of life across India.

Throughout its history, the company has championed initiatives to make quality education accessible to all while creating some of India’s finest educational institutions. Guided by the vision of its founder, the Tata group believes that building a nation starts with uplifting its people through education. From establishing premier institutes of learning to designing programs that bring education to marginalized communities, our commitment to universal education remains unwavering.

* Masti Ki Pathshala - Masti Ki Pathshala by Tata Steel is a residential bridge program dedicated to the all-around development of street children and child laborers, with the mission of making Jamshedpur a child-labor-free city. The program offers a safe haven for children who have endured severe hardships, including substance addiction, petty crime, abuse, and violence.

* Titan Kanya - Launched in 2013, Titan Kanya is the flagship CSR initiative of Titan, aimed at fostering education and well-being for economically and socially disadvantaged girls. In collaboration with Project Nanhi Kali and IIMPACT, this initiative has transformed the lives of 17,000 girls across India.

* Institutes of Learning and the Arts - The Tata group’s commitment to education began in 1909 with the founding of the Indian Institute of Science, one of Jamsetji Tata's visionary dreams for India. Since then, the group has established numerous esteemed institutions, including the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, and the National Centre for Performing Arts, promoting excellence in education and the arts.
