<p>Business magnate Ratan Tata took to Instagram to recall his first visit to Jamshedpur, the city named after one of his ancestors who also founded the Tata Group&mdash;Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata.</p>
<p>The Chairman Emeritus of Tata Sons also shared two black-and-white pictures from the visit to the steel plant in Jamshedpur.</p>
<p>In terms of legacy, Jamshedpur had a story of its own. 'Sakchi', which was a village in present-day Jharkhand became the site of the first planned cities in India after Jamsetji Tata selected it as the location of his steel plant. &nbsp;In 1919, the village was renamed in his honour by Lord Chelmsford as 'Jamshedpur'.</p>
<p>"When the earliest settlers arrived in what was then Sakchi in 1908, they were lured by the idea of making a home in a city yet to be created. The idea of present-day Jamshedpur started of course with the setting up of the Tata Steel Plant," the Tata Group wrote in its <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a href="https://www.tata.com/newsroom/100-years-jamshedpur-1-tata-steel" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;">website</span></a></span></strong>. "Moneylenders, artisans, young men, and women looking to start a new life moved here, invited by the company to be a part of this dream that Jamshetji Nusserwanji Tata had seen and his successors Sir Dorabji, Sir Ratan and RD Tata would turn into a reality."</p>
<p>Remembering his first visit to <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/jamshedpur-all" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Jamshedpur</span></a></strong></span>, the 82-year-old businessman in the post shared that he was on holiday from college when he first visited the steel plant in Jamshedpur, much before he would start working there.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I remember the first time I ever visited Jamshedpur, when I was on holiday from college. Mr. R. G. Da Costa and Mr. J. D. Chokshi invited me to visit the Telco plant and have a walk around the plant,&rdquo; Tata wrote in the post. He called the visit his 'first interaction with the legacy city', adding that the visit took place before he started working there.</p>
