Peepli - A film on The Plight of Indian Farmers

 Dear All

This is a film that all of us in the agricultural sector should watch.
I recommend it to all, especially the students, to get a feel of how our agricultural  families have a arduous life under difficult circumstances. A valuable plus for your programme of study.

The Agricultural Society could organise a viewing of the film after its  release in Mauritius and I am sure  you will come back satisfied and in deep thought. Review

Transforming the Agricultural Education

A lot has changed in the Mauritian Agriculture over the past decades.
Careers are different and constantly evolving, students profiles have changed and even the meaning ofthe term agriculture has changed. Moreover, what students expect, what is expected of them, and the need for a scientifically educated population have expanded. Although this publication (below)is meant for an American audience I guess it can provide to us valuable insights for improving our agricultural curriculum.
