The catalyst responsible for Jamshedji starting steel plant and IISc was Swami Vivekanand, so much so that Jamshedji had requested Swami Vivekanand to be the first head of the Science Institute (IISc). Here I quote from one of the speeches of President Kalam, telling us story behind the birth of IISc.<br /><br />http://archives.iisc.ernet.in/iisc_tata_vivek_kalam.htm<br /><br />The above link that describes the story and also showcases the letter by Jamshedji to Vivekanand. <br /><br />"At this point let me share the meeting between Swami Vivekananda and Jamshedji Nusserwanji Tata during a ship journey. It happened in 1893. A ship was sailing Japan to USA. There were hundreds of people in that ship including two significant personalities. Swami Vivekananda and Jamshedji Tata were in that ship. Swamiji asked Jamshedji for what mission he was traveling. Jamshedji said that he wanted to bring steel industry to India. Swami Vivekanda blessed him. He suggested steel technology had two components – one is steel science and the other is manufacturing technology. What can you bring to this country in material technology – you will have to build material science within the country. Jamshedji was thinking and thinking and made a decision. ... Jamshedji brought two establishment to this country – first one was steel plant and the other was an educational research institution."Ravindra Keskarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9003076573972458673.post-35671399220806271722010-06-06T11:30:11.961+05:302010-06-06T11:30:11.961+05:30Good writing!
