GUWAHATI: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday said the state’s push towards a “Silver Revolution” in the poultry sector has begun delivering tangible results, with egg production registering a significant 28 per cent growth during the 2024-25 financial year.

Using a popular phrase to underline the importance of regular egg consumption, the Chief Minister said the surge in production is helping ensure affordable and consistent access to eggs, a key source of protein and nutrition for people across the state.

He said the initiative reflects the government’s dual focus on improving public health outcomes while strengthening rural livelihoods.
