It is in giving to all that we receive

Become the biggest giver, for that need lot of Vitamin M. 

Give back and support causes/ Charities. It was such a great privilege to see Kochouseph Sir, be part of the biggest 10 givers. 

Create more than you consume, and give consistently. 


A leader always shows the right way, everyone from Kerala can be proud of his actions , he is showing us life is not only becoming rich ,it’s equally about richness in giving back to the society ❤️ HURUN-india-philanthropy-list2020

Total global donations in the last century stood at $832 billion

With donations worth $102.4 billion, India’s pioneer industrialist and Tata Group founder Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata is the world’s biggest philanthropist of the last century, much ahead of Bill and Melinda Gates, who came in second.

Wipro Founder-Chairman Azim Premji, who gifted about $22 billion for noble causes and ranked 12, is the only other Indian in the list of 50 global philanthropists compiled by Hurun Research and EdelGive Foundation.

Tata, who started his endowments as early as 1892, donated mainly for healthcare and education needs from Tata Sons’ income. Jamsetji Tata died in 1904. The total philanthropic value of Tata Group is made up of 66 per cent of Tata Sons, estimated at $100 billion, solely based on the value of listed entities.

“Whilst American and European philanthropists may have dominated the thinking of philanthropy over the last century, Jamsetji Tata is the world’s biggest philanthropist,” Rupert Hoogewerf, Chairman and Chief Researcher of Hurun Report, said.

Anas Rahman Junaid, Managing Director and Chief Researcher of Hurun India said: “It is a proud moment to see an Indian top the 2021 EdelGive Hurun Philanthropists of the Century.”

The group’s philanthropic activities are now overseen by its Chairman Emeritus Ratan N Tata.

And then I am reminded:

Do not try to save

the whole world

or do anything grandiose.

Instead, create

a clearing

in the dense forest

of your life

and wait there

patiently,

until the song

that is your life

falls into your own cupped hands

and you recognize and greet it.

Only then will you know

how to give yourself

to this world

so worth of rescue.
