The celebration aimed to raise awareness about the critical role of eggs in combating India’s growing protein deficiency and ensuring affordable, nutritious food for all. Experts at the event highlighted that eggs, often referred to as “nature’s perfect food,” are rich in high-quality protein, vitamins, and essential minerals, making them suitable for people of all age groups—from children and adults to the elderly and recovering patients.
The event was attended by notable industry leaders and experts, including:
- Shri K.G. Anand, GM, VHL Group, Hyderabad

He emphasized the urgent need for awareness campaigns like World Egg Day to encourage greater egg consumption across the country.
