The General Body:
Comprising of 25,000 members, these are the primary members which include poultry farmers as well as egg traders. Elections to all the committees are held once in 3 years on democratic lines. NECC members work towards a common goal crossing barriers not only of geography, but of culture and language as well. To further strengthen this unity, NECC publishes the monthly NECC Review so that farmers in the farthest corner of the country are aware of the latest developments and technological progress being made world-wide.
