History[edit]
The Indian Poultry industry suffered an unusual series of crises in early 1980s, as the
selling price had become lower than the production cost. Many of the poultry farmers
shut down their farm operations as a result of heavy losses. A group of farmers
motivated by Dr. B. V. Rao and Ch. Jagapati Rao traveled across the country,
organizing over 300 meetings with groups, individuals, and traders. Their objective was
to unite poultry farmers from all over India and take control of their own destiny. In May
1982, NECC was formally registered as a trust under the Indian Societies Registration
Act and on May 14, 1982, NECC started declaring egg prices. [3]
