Hosted by Poultry India, IPEMA, and NECC, the event embraced the theme “Protein Awareness: Eggs for Nutrition & Health,” highlighting eggs as a vital, affordable source of high-quality protein, vitamins, and minerals for all ages.

Distinguished guests, including K.G. Anand (VHL Group), Dr. Uday (Dean, Rajendranagar), R.P. Naidu (APEDA), Balu Naik (Deputy Director-FSSAI), Dr. Ravinder Reddy (Secretary-TPBA), P. Chakradhar Rao (Founder President IPEMA), Chitturi Suresh Rayudu (President-IEC), Uday Singh Bayas (President IPEMA-Poultry India), Shushruta Kumar (Budding Equestrian), and Dr. Bala Swamy (Advisor NECC), stressed eggs’ role in combating protein deficiency and supporting health.
