Purnava Egg Fest

Date:  Saturday, 21 October

Purnava has been working in non-medicated natural products for some time now. One of their more popular products is Purnava Omega 3 eggs. The importance of eggs is often misunderstood, and not many people are even aware that there is a World Egg Day, observed on 13 October. In the current context when children are more attracted to unhealthy meals than nutritious ones, eggs can bridge that gap.

The objective of the daylong celebration by Purnava is to create a positive, scientific image of egg, busting myths.  The event will have kiosks offering healthy foods, dishes made from eggs, healthy drinks, desserts, etc. 

There will be also be provisions for basic medical check-ups; book reading sessions, yoga sessions conducted by Anika Rabbani, Magic show by Asgar; puppet shows: a drama on nutrition, Clay Station, art station and much more.
