Background
I am an Engineer by qualification, having graduated with a B.Chem.
degree and an M.Sc. (Tech) from the Bombay University’s prestigious
Department of Chemical Technology (UDCT).
I was born into a middle-class family that has consistently served
the city of Mumbai and I am justifiably proud of my roots. My father,
late Rusi Mehta, was one of the longest serving Corporators and
won his last election with a record majority. My brother Noshir
served as a Corporator for three consecutive terms and was Chairman
of the BEST Committee. My sister Anahita is, at present, a Corporator
for the second successive term.
I have used my experience of more than 35 years in the field of
construction and repairs of buildings in Mumbai in addressing the
maintenance, repairs and other housing problems of the BPP. |
Bombay
Parsi Panchayat
My dedication to the BPP has been indisputable. Not only have
I attended almost every meeting of the Board of Trustees and its
various
committees and sub-committees, I also devote at least four to
five hours every single working day to the affairs of the Panchayat
and meeting the poor and needy of the community. I regularly visit
each and every baug in Mumbai, and I have always been there in
times of crisis or to resolve specific problems
The community knows that in addition to being contactable
24/7, I ensure that I am available to ANY Parsi with ANY problem,
be it in the domain of housing, education, medical needs, subsidy
in rent or licence fees, doles, repairs to our innumerable old
properties, settlement of suits, water problems and various other
needs of the people. I try to understand the problems faced by
each individual and assist him or her in whatever way I can without
compromising the basic tenets of the BPP. |
