ACK (English)-854-Ardeshir And Pirojsha Godrej

    

ARDESHIR AND PIROJSHA GODREJ

Pioneers Of Progress

125 years ago, Ardeshir Godrej, a young man of 29 years, set up a small factory in Lalbaug in

Bombay to make locks – the first of its kind in India. This was the humble origin of what today

has become a trusted household name—‘Godrej’. The story of the Godrej family is a tale of

courage, innovation and entrepreneurship.

Ardeshir Burjorji Godrej dealt with personal tragedy and many disappointments before finding

his true calling – making complex mechanisms for locks. He was an inventor, who looked up to

nationalist leaders like Dadabhai Naoroji, Gopal Krishna Gokhale, Lokmanya Tilak and

Mahatma Gandhi. Infuriated by India’s impoverishment at the hands of the British, the call to

action of the Swadeshi Movement resonated deeply with him. After successfully launching

businesses in locks, safes, and soaps; his agile mind never ceased to look for new products to

prove that ‘Made in India’ quality could not only meet, but exceed world class standards.

Pirojsha Burjorji Godrej was Ardeshir’s younger brother, who had a penchant for numbers, and

shared the same nationalist ideals as his sibling. He expanded the business into steel furniture,

typewriters, refrigerators, forklift trucks, trucks and machine tools. Meticulous about quality,

customer satisfaction and worker’s welfare, his most notable achievement was the

transformation of the tiny hamlet of Vikhroli (a suburb in Mumbai) into a thriving industrial

township, renamed Pirojshanagar after his death in 1972.

MEHERBAI TATA

Champion of Women's Causes

1.5 million girls in India,that is 27 percent of girls in the country are still forced into child marriages.

Lady Tata was not only consulted on the Sarda Act, she also actively campaigned for it in India and abroad.

ACK (English)-845-Verghese Kurien

 

VERGHESE KURIEN

THE MAN WITH THE 'BILLION-LITRE' IDEA

When Verghese Kurien stepped down from the train and on to the dusty platform in Anand, Gujarat, on 13 May, 1949, little did he know that his life was going to change unimaginably. Waiting for him was not just his own destiny but that of thousands of small, marginalised farmers who, until then, had only known exploitation and deprivation. The story of Dr. Kurien is the story of Amul. It is the story of Operation Flood, the 'billion-liter idea' that set India on the top of the world map for milk production. A die-hard patriot, Kurien was committed to the co-operative cause. He put the milk industry in the hands of the farmers, believing firmly that with ownership would come responsibility and great success. And he was right. Amar Chitra Katha traces the story of the man who is known as the 'Father of the White Revolution'.

Amar Chitra Katha tells the story of Jim Corbett and traces his life and love for one of India's most valuable and endangered animals.
