Feature stories on relief and rehabilitation

Taj Public Service Welfare Trust

The Taj Public Service Welfare Trust continues to lend a helping hand to those affected by the Mumbai terror attacks of November 26, 2008

A happy homecoming

In keeping with its promise to the people of Nagapattinam, devastated by the killer tsunami that hit the Tamil Nadu coast in 2004, the Tata Group has helped rebuild not only their homes but also their lives

Rising after the deluge

The July 2005 Mumbai floods wreaked havoc on the city and its people. In response, various Tata Group organisations have come together to offer a helping hand to those affected by the devastation

Building homes, building lives

Each according to ability

Of the initiatives sustained by the Tata Relief Committee in tsunami-hit Tamil Nadu, what is indeed commendable is the way in which different Tata enterprises have pooled disparate skills to actualise a common aim

Immediate relief

The people story

Volunteers worked overtime to help in the distribution of relief material in the tsunami-hit districts of Tamil Nadu. According to Capt Rao, "The Tata Group is the only corporate house that is still working in the region."

Permanent rehabilitation

Permanent rehabilitation of those devastated by the tsunami was the biggest challenge, which meant not just undoing the damage done, but improving the quality of life of the affected. The Tata Relief Committee clearly understood this imperative

The collector's testimonial

"Taking up relief at ground zero of the tsunami is that much more challenging, but TRC has shown staying power and has been accepted by the community."

Wave of relief

The Tata initiative to help India's tsunami victims was directed through the Tata Relief Committee — the vehicle through which the collective resources of the Group are used to organise relief in the wake of natural disasters

Helping to rebuild shattered lives

The Tata group has committed people, material and other resources to helping the many families devastated by the Indian Ocean tsunami

From rehab to rebirth

The Tata Relief Committee's initiative to help those devastated by the Gujarat earthquake is a shining example of altruism, partnership and commitment

Succour for soldiers

The Tata Defence Welfare Corpus, set up in the wake of the Kargil war, helps Indian soldiers maimed in combat rebuild their lives, thus repaying, in some small measure, the debt of gratitude we owe our fighting men
