The International Institute of Hotel Management (IIHM) launched its first Egg Bank in India in Bengaluru to provide sustained nutritional support to children who are in dire need of it.

As per details shared by IIHM, Sri Rakum School for the Blind was the first institution identified for the project. Students from IIHM, recognised as food soldiers, distributed 700 eggs to visually-impaired children at the school.

Speaking on the initiative, Dr. Suborno Bose, founder & chairman of IIHM, said: “The student-led CSR initiative has been undertaken in association with Valmiki Foundation. IIHM will progressively extend the programme to old-age homes, orphanages, and other institutions serving underprivileged communities in Bengaluru.”

He also stressed that the initiative will subsequently be taken forward across IIHM campuses in India, with each campus identifying beneficiary institutions in its vicinity.
