Bihar to go in for egg production in a big way to meet the shortfall of eggs

Under a new plan, Bihar will go in for production of eggs on a large scale - these eggs will generate both money and employment in the state. The daily requirement of eggs in the state was 2.8 crore and it was producing only 10 lakh eggs per day. Obviously, there is a large scope to tap this market.
More than 2000 people from eight districts have shown interest. They are from Siwan, Gopalganj, Bhojpur, Buxar and have submitted applications to the Centre for Incubation and Entrepreneurship of Bihar Vidyapeeth to avail of assistance in developing an egg production unit.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 24 January 2017.

Bihar is dependent on Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu for eggs and plans to make good the shortfall by producing them in the state itself. The eggs that are procured are kept in cold storages which makes them not as good as fresh eggs.
As per plans, entrepreneurs have to invest Rs 10-12 lakh to start the unit and the balance would be in the form of loans - this can be up to 90 per cent of the investment.
