The life of J. R. D. Tata spanned almost the whole of the twentieth century. He brought to
India the gift of civil aviation. For fifty-two years he was Chairman of one of the
largest industrial groups in India.
His achievements extended beyond the ambit of business to institutions he helped create.
His was the first national voice to call for family planning. For thirty years he raised
his voice against the misguided policies of a controlled economy. He set standards of
integrity in business which may be equalled but were never surpassed.
This exhibition endeavours to portray "The Man who Touched Power But Remained Untouched By It".
A part of the workshop that he had set up at his residence has also been replicated at the
exhibition.
The attire worn by J. R. D. Tata when he received the Bharat Ratna, his convocation gown
and his air commodore uniform are also on display.
One of the more interesting exhibits of the Tata Central Archives is the Mumbai Office
room of J. R. D. Tata, which has been, replicated to the last detail.
