My name is Baboo Monibhooshanan Nair and I like to be called Dr. Baboo softly and sweetly. I was born in India in a place called Thiruvattar, which is located in the Kanyakumari district at the south most tip of the country.

I was brought up in Trivandrum which is the capital city of the Kerala State where I had my education at the Fort High School, Mar Ivanios College and College of Agriculture before I obtained my B. Sc. in Agriculture in 1959 from Kerala University and left Trivandrum for working as an Agricultural Supervisor in an Agricultural Research Sation in Viramgam located in the northern part of Gujerat State. My duty was to offer assistance in planning of the experiments and analysis of the results of plant breeding to produce new cotton varieties. Kalyan is the variety I remember best.
