Annual Reports & Financial Declaration

Over the past year, the Tata Trusts have  continued  to  focus  on  issues  and  causes  of  national  importance  and  on   the   creation   of   opportunities for   lower   income communities   in   India.   The   Trusts   have   been   actively   involved with initiatives announced by our Prime Minister, as  well  as  in  the  areas  of  water  conservation,  sanitation,  cancer  care  and  rural  upliftment.  In  February  2019,  one  such  state-of-the-art  cancer  facility  in  Varanasi,  equipped  with   facilities   for   early   detection   and   treatment,   was   inaugurated    by    the    Prime   Minister.   The   Trusts   are   participating  in  similar  projects  with  the  government,  such  as  ‘Lakhpati  Kisan’,  which  will  help  create  rural  empowerment  by  creating  jobs  and  livelihoods  for over 1,00,000 households. 

Partnerships with like-minded foundations and research   institutions   have   helped   create   self-sustaining ecosystems which benefit society as a whole. The Trusts have traditionally supported or actively collaborated with various globally renowned research entities, such as  Massachusetts Institute  of  Technology  (MIT)  and  University  of  California,  San  Diego  on  projects  such  as  low-cost  medical devices and the elimination of the malaria toxin carried by mosquitoes. 

It is truly heartwarming to see the Trusts continue to transition from a traditional grant-giver to a national  catalyst  of  social  change,  while  creating  gratifying  stories  of  impact,  some  of  which  have  been mentioned in the pages that follow. 

The Trusts will continue in their journey of dedicating themselves to the enhancement of the quality of life of the communities that they serve.
