Tata Group chairman, Ratan Tata was honored with the Udyog Ratna award at his home by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Ministers Ajit Pawar and Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday.
The Maharashtra government introduced the prestigious Udyog Ratna award this year and Tata became the inaugural recipient of this award today. The state government made an announcement about the award in July this year.
Speaking about the award and its recipient Ratan Tata, Eknath Shinde said, “Ratan Tata’s and Tata Group’s contribution to the country is immense. I thank him for accepting this award given by the Maharashtra government.”
The ceremony for the Udyog Ratna Award will take place on Sunday. However, Ratan Tata will not be attending it due to his ill health. This is why he conferred the award at his residence on Saturday.
