Did you know that Ratan Tata was honoured with a Doctorate in the field of Science by Belagavi’s very own Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU)? Yes, on February 10, 2009, Ratan Tata along with two other individuals were awarded a doctorate by Rameshwar Thakur, who was the Governor of Karnataka as well as the chancellor of VTU.
It is one of the proudest moment for Belgaumites to realise that one of many awards that are available in Mr. Ratan Tata’s shelf comes from Belagavi. Today Ratan Tata turns 83 years old.
He was born on 28th December 1937 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. He completed his studies in the Cornell University College of Architecture and Harvard Business School through the Advanced Management Program.
