Not Industry, Small Farms Key To Jobs Growth: Indian Expert
N.S. Rajan, the chief human resource officer of the Tata Group, said that corporations had to realise their role in society and cited Swami Vivekananada as saying that a society that exploits one section for another is like a bird with one wing.
His group's founder Jamshedji Tata understood this and his belief was that corporations were an integral part of society and must function as such, Rajan said.
As a result, 66 percent of Tata Sons is owned by philanthropic trusts. This philosophy also led the company from its earliest days more than a century ago to provide creches and schools to enable women to work, thus increasing the nation's workforce.
The group has over 550,000 workers, of whom 115,000 were women and it was committed to doubling their numbers, Rajan said. There were now 350 women leaders in the company and its goal was to increase their number to 1,000 by 2020, he added.
