History

Whether it is education, medical or causes related to rural development, the Tata Group leaves a legacy of being totally involved in many welfare activities. In keeping with the tradition of affirmative action, The Coorg Foundation was established in the year 1994 with the vision of the late Mr. Darbari Seth, Chairman of Tata Coffee. To quote him, “Tu shaneen hai parwaj hai kaam tera. Tere saamne asmaan aur bhi hain". (You're like the eagle, destined to fly higher and higher. The wide-open sky beckons you to conquer more).

Towards this end, the Foundation plays an active role in five distinct areas: Healthcare, Sports, Education, Environment and Culture.
