Jamshedpur: Tata Steel is gearing up to commemorate the 185th birth anniversary of its founder, Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata, in Jamshedpur on March 3, 2024. The theme for this year’s Founder’s Day is ‘Technology for People and Planet’.
Every year, Tata Steel along with other Tata group companies celebrate the birth anniversary of the Founder and his vision of an industrial future with community welfare at its core. J N Tata had begun his entrepreneurial journey with a textile mill in central India in the 1870s. His vision inspired the steel and power industry in India, set the foundation for technical education, and helped the country leapfrog to join the ranks of industrialised nations.
The celebrations will feature the illumination of over 50 significant sites across Jamshedpur, including heritage buildings, places of worship, and roundabouts. The colorful lights used in these displays will not only enhance the city’s beauty but also serve as a reminder of the occasion.
Various activities are planned for Founder’s Day 2024, including homage programmes at Jubilee Park, Jamshedpur Works and Postal Park, exhibitions, sports events, and a Science and Technology Exhibition at SNTI and an exhibition at Steelennium Hall in Jamshedpur Works.
The homage at Jamshedpur Works will be broadcast live on Tata Steel’s official Facebook page for a global audience.
