About Us

In order to recognise the shifts that will govern the next decade in the development space and to take forward our ambition of emerging as a thought leader of this space, the Tata Steel Foundation – a section 8 Company – was established in 2016. With over 1,500 members spread over ten units and six states of Jharkhand, West Bengal, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Punjab, the Foundation is a community development implementing organisation focused upon co-creating solutions with tribal and excluded communities in order to address their development challenges. In FY2023-24, the Foundation reached 4.78 million lives through its consolidated programme portfolio effectively positioned under Impac t Pathways on Public Health, Education, Livelihoods, Gender and Community Enterprise, Infrastructure and Tribal Identity, at a commitment of over 607 crores. It is committed towards playing a larger role in India’s sustainable development as roadmap to achieving its vision to create ‘an enlightened and equitable society where every individual realizes her potential with dignity’. The Foundation has therefore broad-based its community engagement to effect societal changes through its national and regional change models that help consolidate diverse resource pools and multiply the impact potential on citizen’s lives. It also enables the Foundation to advocate a structure to government and other organisations working for positive change. This, in the recent times, has helped the Foundation to strategically look at emerging narratives, many of which including climate resilient livelihoods, rewilding of ecosystem, upscaling or re-purposing programmes reflect our community’s aspirations of an enlightened society. Tata Steel Foundation is on a path to emerge as impact leaders across core themes of development through scalable, sustainable business models that can be adopted globally, evidenced on public platforms, while building social capital of the deepest order with underserved and voiceless communities to become first partners of choice for like-minded social development practitioners, public authorities and enable consultation on policy decisions engaging the best talents from across the country. The Foundation is committed to impact 10 million lives per annum by 2030, aliging all its efforts to the Aspirational Block Programme (ABP) of the Government of India and the SDGs laid out by the United Nations (UN).

Polestar Aspirations 2030

Chairman’s Desk programme was introduced in Gumla (Jharkhand), and will reach every rural household of the district to address issues of maternal and child mortality. This programme received the Technology for Better Tomorrow Award from IIT Madras for best technology deployment for social impact. T V Narendran Non-Executive Chairman Dear Reader, It is my privilege to present to you Tata Steel Foundation’s Annual Report FY24. The world, today, is in pursuit of solutions to core societal challenges like inequality, climate change, economic opportunity and demographic leverage. There is unprecedented convergence of technology, policy, sentiment and capital for this, but much remains to be done. The Tata Steel Foundation is being built as an institution which converges resources, talent, purpose and peer networks required to grapple with and solve for these multi-dimensional challenges, prioritizing those who remain outside the margins of development. The Foundation, in FY24, enhanced a block saturation approach in line with the Aspirational Blocks and Districts programme of the Government of India. In this, our Education Signature Programme catalysed all gram panchayats of Keonjhar district of Odisha to declare themselves child labour free zones which is a first of its kind outcome. The flagship MANSI+ 6 FOUNDATION The Foundation continued to combine ecological narratives with economic opportunities to build ground up solutions for climate shifts. Our efforts have created 167 million cubic feet (mcft) of water conservation potential across 35,839 hectares of watershed while working with 90,918 marginal farmer households for a 125% increase in their household income. We collaborated with the Central Tasar Research and Training Institute in FY24 to explore conservation of the Sukinda ecorace of silkworms. A community led vector borne disease control programme was launched in 10 blocks, an effort at the intersection of public health, climate and geographic saturation. FY24 has also seen a structural shift in our capability to unlock public entitlements, through systemically building decentralized planning and grassroot governance programmes. We enabled 375 Village Development Plans (VDPs)to unlock ₹48 crore from public schemes. The Foundation also implemented the Jaga Mission programme for the Government of Odisha which enabled land rights for more than 90,000 households across slums of 5 municipalities of the state. The Foundation also works towards embedding a societal perspective in key business systems. We collaborated with XLRI to launch a first of its kind Postgraduate Certificate Program in CSR Leadership while teaching core courses at the flagship programmes of leading business schools. Our social immersion programme, designed for managers to imbibe wisdom from communities, reached more than 1,000 young and experienced professionals in FY24. The ongoing programmes of the Foundation retained their strong impact reaching 4.8 million lives in FY24, the highest ever annual achievement while building small, meaningful narratives. The cumulative revenue of our communitybased enterprises exceeded ₹1.5 crore in FY24, while the Johaar Haat platform reached more than 500 tribal artisans. Our vocational training institutes are now placing youngsters beyond the shores of India, while we continue to go deep rural with our latest ITI in Banspal, Odisha which is one of the remotest aspirational blocks of the state. Our scholarships reached more than 10,000 marginalized children but, more importantly, produced the grade X toppers of 3 districts in Jharkhand. We partnered with the Indian Institute of Science in pursuance of greater representation of marginalized communities in highest echelons of science. The Samvaad ecosystem for tribal identity strode forward with 212 original works created by tribal communities in the form of publications, action research, songs and music compositions. Our grassroots sports centres now reach almost 4,000 children and was awarded the Best Grassroots Football Coaching Programme by the All India Football Federation in FY24. I would like to take this opportunity to express my deep appreciation for the trust that communities vest in our programmes and teams, the confidence of our partners who invest their capital through the Foundation and the role of our NGO partners who help craft some of our key narratives of change. In closing, I extend my warm acknowledgement for colleagues at the Foundation who are resolutely building a community first institution with an innately strong sense of purpose. I am confident that the Tata Steel Foundation will continue to build stronger impact, ideas, individuals and ecosystems which come together to create a transformative societal story.
