The Chairman Emeritus of the Tata Group, Ratan Tata, is India’s well-known philanthropist and respected across the world for his generosity and business ethics.
Dr Vivek Bindra, who himself admires Tata, took to Twitter and wrote, Ratan Tata believes today’s generation of entrepreneurs can take India to next level. We confer the countrys highest civilian award Bharat Ratna for @RNTata200. Join us in our campaign #BharatRatnaforRatanTata.
The campaign soon started trending and users extended their full support urging the Indian government to honour the businessman with India’s highest civilian award.
Responding to this, Ratan Tata, wrote, While I appreciate the sentiments expressed by a section of the social media in terms of an award, I would humbly like to request that such campaigns to be discontinued.
Instead I consider myself fortunate to be an Indian and to try and contribute to India’s growth and prosperity, he added.
Among the many, Tatas generous donation of Rs 1,500 crore towards PM Cares Fund to fight against COVID-19 was appreciated across the nation.

An elderly couple was mauled by a tiger in Chor Bawali on January 25 while on their way from Narsinghpur (Madhya Pradesh) to Nagpur on January 25. The couple was accompanied by their 25-year-old son in a car. Following the tiger attack, the couple was admitted to Kingsway Hospital in Nagpur.
While on their way to Nagpur, the family of three stopped near Chor Bawali for passing urine. When the 58-year-old woman got out of the car, the tiger, which was probably wounded by a previous vehicular assault, caught hold of the woman’s hand and bit her thumb. When the woman’s husband stepped out of the car to help his wife, the tiger attacked him as well and injured his right leg. A terrfied son started throwing stones at the tiger, who eventually ran away.
The couple was given first aid by the bystanders before being driven to Nagpur by the son to Kingsway hospital. Speaking to Nation Next, treating surgeon Dr Prakash Jain informed that the family was terrified when it arrived at the hospital. Dr Jain said: “The couple is now stable. Tiger mauling is always serious. The couple was lucky to have sustained minor injuries in the incident.”

Another thing, which has gained immense popularity over the last two years is the paracetamol tablet ‘Dolo 650,’ which has been prescribed by doctors during 1st, 2rd and now the 3rd wave of the pandemic in India.
The popularity of tablet, which is manufactured by Micro labs, has led several to several memes on the internet. Dilip Surana, Chairman and Managing Director of Micro Labs, expressed his surprise at the unexpected popularity of the drug in an interview with Money Control. He said: It has always been a popular brand among doctors across India. However, we did not expect the kind of popularity that Dolo-650 gained recently because we have never advertised the tablet directly to the public.
