DAVANAGERE: This is not just a browsing centre to cater to the needs of people, but a hub of knowledge where from primary school children to students of professional courses, doctors, engineers and researchers acquire the knowledge they require.

My Cyber Cafe is one of the most sought after by all sections of people at Davanagere. According to M P Mallikarjun, Manager of the Cyber Cafe, it was on June 23, 1999 when the Internet browsing service centre, not much familiar at Davanagere in those days, was started with just four computers in a rented building at M C C B Block, Davanagere.

In a span of one year, the Cafe with its care and concern for younger generation and also professionals grew up to be called a popular Internet centre and 10 computers were installed.

Air condition facility with posh interior decoration and basic facilities to visitors were provided. Now the centre with 30 computers and five trained personnel is catering to the varied requirements of students, professionals for thesis writing, preparation of projects etc, Mallikarjun stated.

The centre, which is open to all attracts the girl students, women in particular, as we have banned completely the porn site and crime sites, Mallikarjun said. Since the Centre is for a family requirement and needs, all sorts of unwanted surfing or browsing are totally banned here to make a homely environment, Mallikarjun added.

Another important service provided here for Primary, Secondary and High school children is the preparation of their project reports with a neat printout copies made in the form of books.

On many occasions, the school students are asked to make a project on a scientist, a warrior, freedom fighter or a scholar. As all relevant information is available through Internet, it is collected as needed by students, made in the form of books and sold at a concession, Mallikarjun explained.

This had helped a lot of students and even parents have appreciated our centre, he added.
