Jamshedji Tata had donated money where Nano plant will come up in Guj

During the worst famine in 1899-1900, Jamshedji Nasarwanji Tata, founder of Tata empire, had donated Rs 1,000 to save the Kankrej cows in the animal pound on the same land.

The pound is no more but a tombstone bearing the name of Jamshedji Tata with the amount of donation is intact along with the names of other donors.

“Jamshedji Tata had donated Rs 1,000 which was a large sum of money in 1900 AD, for the Gau Savardan Kendra to save the dying cows of Kankrej which were brought to animal pound on the same land which is being offered to the Tata,” Ravubha Vaghela, a farmer-turned-industrialist of the area said.

“Philanthropy of Tata on this land will prove lucky for them. It will ensure that they will not face any problem like they had faced in Singur,.
