“Eggs are a powerhouse of nutrition, packed with high-quality protein, essential vitamins, minerals and other vital nutrients that support growth, strength and overall well-being. From children to senior citizens, everyone can benefit from including eggs in their daily diet. Let us make egg consumption a healthy habit to nourish our bodies, build a healthier society and embrace smarter living.”
As part of its World Egg Day 2026 initiatives, IPEMA–Poultry India also conducted a series of awareness and egg distribution activities across Hyderabad on October 8 and 9, taking the message of egg nutrition and healthy eating habits to schoolchildren.
On October 8, marking the eve of World Egg Day, IPEMA–Poultry India organised an engaging awareness initiative titled “Cracking the Egg Code!” at ZPHS, Madhapur. The session introduced students to the fascinating journey of the egg, from farm to table, while helping them understand the science behind poultry production and the nutritional value of eggs. The interactive learning experience was followed by an egg distribution drive, supported by NECC, translating nutritional awareness into a meaningful experience for the students.
Continuing its efforts on October 9, IPEMA–Poultry India, with the support of NECC, conducted a special Egg Distribution Drive at Shree Hanuman Vyayam Shala High School, Sultan Bazar, Hyderabad. The initiative aimed to spread awareness about the nutritional benefits of eggs and inspire healthy eating habits among young minds, reinforcing the message, “An Egg a Day, A Healthier Tomorrow!”
These initiatives reflected IPEMA–Poultry India’s commitment to taking the message of egg nutrition beyond industry platforms and into schools and communities, encouraging children to make informed food choices and recognise the role of eggs in a balanced diet.
The programme underscored the importance of promoting balanced nutrition and encouraging greater egg consumption among people of all age groups, while also recognising the poultry sector’s contribution to food security, livelihoods and the economy.
