Sir Dorabji Tata and Allied Trusts - Mission

Mission

As the Trust got formed and the trustees deliberated on the policy aspects and finalized them, it decided to adopt a broad framework—that it should undertake such projects, which are too large for individuals to handle and that each of these projects should have a genuine relevance to the welfare of the country.The Trust is mandated to:

  • Maintain and support schools, educational institutions and hospitals
  • Provide relief in distress caused by the elements of nature such as famine, pestilence, fire, tempest, flood, earthquake or any other calamity
  • Help advancement of learning in all its branches especially research work in medical and industrial problems
  • Offer financial aid to the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, by instituting professorships or lectureships or giving scholarships
  • Award fellowships in any branch of science or assist students to study abroad either by payment of lump sums grants or by payment of periodical sums
  • Give aid to any other charitable institutions or objects endowed by the settler in his lifetime, or by the grandfather, father or both of the settler.

Famous quotes containing the word mission:

    “When you’re dealing with monkeys, you’ve got to expect some wrenches.”
    —Alvah Bessie, Ranald MacDougall, and Lester Cole. Raoul Walsh. Captain Nelson, Objective Burma, giving a subaltern a mission (1945)

    “Not in vain is Ireland pouring itself all over the earth. Divine Providence has a mission for her children to fulfill; though a mission unrecognized by political economists. There is ever a moral balance preserved in the universe, like the vibrations of the pendulum. The Irish, with their glowing hearts and reverent credulity, are needed in this cold age of intellect and skepticism.”
    —Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)

    “I cannot be a materialist—but Oh, how is it possible that a God who speaks to all hearts can let Belgravia go laughing to a vicious luxury, and Whitechapel cursing to a filthy debauchery—such suffering, such dreadful suffering—and shall the short years of Christ’s mission atone for it all?”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
