The city is going to have country’s first cyber cafe at Gurudwara Shri Guru Singh Sabha, Jamalpur, courtesy ‘Save my world,’ a non-government organization. Mehtab Singh, founder of the NGO, said, “We are going to start first free cyber cafe of India in a room at this gurudwara.

Anyone who is unable to afford expenses for visiting a cyber cafe, can use the internet facility free-of-cost for 55 minutes per day. One need not be a member of NGO for this. We will start this facility after August 25.

We will provide this facility at nine more places in the city by the end of this year. For the students, a separate corner will be there so that they may finish their homework.

Mehtab said that the aim behind this was to provide an opportunity to all the needy who want to get awareness. The founder chairman who graduated last year from GGN Khalsa College for Boys, said, “I have decided to serve the society. My father, pilot Mahinder Pal Singh is ready to help me in this.”

Mehtab will get the state award tomorrow by Parkash Singh BAdal chief minister of Punjab as his two photographs were decorated at UNO Headquarters last year.”

He is the first Indian whose photographs have been decorated at the UNO headquarters in New York. Making this claim, Mehtab Singh said,”I participated in a “conceptual photography competition’ organised by UNO on August 12 last year. I sent my three photographs for this, out of which my two photographs were selected among top two and have been decorated in the UNO HQ New York.”

He further said,”The theme was “future of world considering climactic changes” My first photo depicted that in the year 2050, the snowfall will be replaced with rainfall. For this, I sent the conceptual photo by clicking at Satluj river. While the second one was that after some years, there will be no safe place on earth other than Mount Everest. I showed that 12 top leaders along with their enemies are sitting on the Mount Everest and having their meals. Had they worked in team, the earth wouldnot have been in this shape.”

In this contest about 1676 people from 85 countries participated. He was ten years old when he started the hobby of photography. After doing schooling from Sacred Heart Senior secondary School, Bhai Randhir Singh Nagar, he went to England for specialised training in speech therapy. He said,”I had a stammering problem, so I did two years special training in England. Now I am doing B.Com and afterwards I have thought of serving the society through the “Save my world” and make people aware about their rights and duties.

Fond of gliding and singing folk songs. His father M P Singh is also director of Global space Aviation company and mother is a home maker.
