New Delhi: Business tycoon Ratan Tata, who is known for his social causes and philanthropic efforts, has responded to the social media campaign demanding Bharat Ratna, the country’s highest honour, for him. “While I appreciate the sentiments expressed by a section of the social media in terms of an award, I would humbly like to request that such campaigns be discontinued. Instead, I consider myself fortunate to be an Indian and to try and contribute to India’s growth and prosperity”, he tweeted.

Notably, the campaign #BharatRatnaForRatanTata started after renowned businessman and motivational speaker Dr Vivek Bhindra, tweeted about conferring the highest civilian award to Ratan Tata. His tweet popularised the hashtag #BharatRatnaForRatanTata, and further encouraged Twitterati to start a campaign for the same.

A large number of Twitter users heaped praise on him for his contributions, especially in inspiring the youth. Asking others to join the campaign #BharatRatnaForRatanTata, a Twitter user asserted Tata has been inspiring young achievers, telling them that believing in one’s ability is essential to achieve success in life.

Calling him as the “Real Hero of India”, another user said he “really deserves the Bharat Ratna Award”.
