PROF B.LALLJEE
Professor B Lalljee retired on the 1st September 2018 after having spent almost 29 years of meritorious service at the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Mauritius, which he joined on 12 September 1989. He has contributed to the Faculty and University with dedication and enthusiasm. His career started when he joined the Agricultural Chemistry Division of the Ministry of Agriculture. During his time at the University, he was Head of Department, Director of the Centre for Consultancy and Research, and member of Senate. Prof Lalljee has been instrumental in guiding the Faculty to mount innovative undergraduate courses in sustainable agriculture (e.g organic farming), which are much in the limelight these days. His foresight is bearing its fruit, as we have trained human capacity who are now promoting these practices.
he has served on many National, Regional and International committees. He was known to be a frequent traveller as he was much solicited to give addresses at conferences and to present his research papers. Despite his heavy teaching and research commitments, he made time to devote to numerous consultancies related to agricultural development, climate change, air pollution, among others, not only for Mauritius but Rodrigues as well.
In one of his note of appreciation emails, he said that “I might be retired from the UOM but I am not tired as a scientist”. So to our indefatigable colleague, We wish you all the best for a great retirement - time for you now to take your time.
