Early life Of Mohan Singh Oberoi:
Mohan Singh Oberoi was born in Jhelum district, a normal family-born Mohan Singh was only six months old when his father's body was lifted from his head. In such a condition, the responsibility of running a house and raising children was on his mother's shoulders. It was not easy for a woman to take such a big responsibility in those days. Mohan Singh went to Rawalpindi after completing his schooling somehow in the village. Here he enrolled in a government college. After completing college studies, he went in search of a job, but he did not get a job even after wandering.
Mohan Singh, who wandered in search of job, advised his friend to learn typing and stenography. He started learning typing at a typing institute in Amritsar, but soon realized that he did not get a job from this too. These days, they only thought that they could get a job, so that they could reduce the burden of their mother's shoulders.
But due to lack of job, they started feeling helpless. He had to spend a lot of money in lieu of living in a city like Amritsar. When his money came to an end, he returned to his village in 1920. On his return to the village, he got married to a family of Kolkata.
