Tata visits Bhutan

During the brief visit of Mr. Ratan Naval Tata to Bhutan he said " We are very willing to participate, not necessarily to make money”.

The prime minister presented a gist of Bhutan’s development priorities and goals, including the need to deepen the roots of democracy. He said Bhutan aimed to be economically self-reliant through investments in hydropower, tourism, organic branding and positioning itself as a regional service hub in the fields of finance, education and health.

He lauded Bhutan for its goal to create a knowledge based society propelled by information technology. “Many things can be done,” he said. “I am quite enthusiastic.” Although the visit was short, Mr Tata declared that he had already ‘fallen in love with Bhutan’.

The prime minister welcomed the possibility of Tata group’s involvement in Bhutan. An entity that has played a tremendously important role in India’s development, Tata Group, he said, could guide, ad¬vise and support Bhutan in many areas.
