Editor's Notes
- #2: "Welcome everyone! Today, I want to talk about my university, the University of Mauritius, and why it's not just any institution for higher education in Mauritius.
- #4: UoM has been for a long long time the only university in Mauritius. Established as a developmental university, more or less at the time of independence, we started with the school of agriculture. Here in the picture, you can see the footage of the old stone building that housed the School of Agriculture. The focus at the time was on manpower production to address the socio-economic needs of the country.,
- #15: Transformation of Belle Mare Coastal Village in a Climate Smart Agriculture village for Climate Resilience, Food Security and Poverty Alleviation funded by the European Union
