To my father the acquisition of wealth was only a secondary object in life; it was always subordinate to the constant desire in his heart to improve the industrial and intellectual condition of the people of this country and the various enterprises which he from time to time undertook in his lifetime had for their principal object the advancement of India in these important respects." -  Sir Dorabji Tata, while laying the foundation stone of the Lonavala Dam, 8 February, 1911
