AROKYA
Arokya - Milk that suits children & adults alike!!!

Arokya has more nutrition and butterfat. Growing children can consume Arokya because it's wholesome and nourishing. It fortifies the bones with calcium, proteins and minerals. In case of adults, Arokya can be diluted with water & used. Arokya is a healthy and ready nourishment for growing children. Fortified with 4.5% butterfat, Arokya helps in the growth of vital strengths of a child - both physical and mental. It contains adequate quantities of calcium and phospholipids for development of the bones and brain respectively. Unlike toned milk where butterfat is removed to make it only 3%, Arokya has 4.5% butterfat. Hence the catchy slogan attached to it: Nothing added. Nothing removed.

Nobody underscores the need for healthy foods more than the World Health Organisation (WHO). In fact, World Children's Fund (WCF)-a body recognized by WHO-believes that milk with 4.5% butterfat is best for growing children. It is very critical to give every child the right kind of food and nutrients, and to give the child just when he needs them the most. If you are looking to make your child skilled, agile and admired, switch to Arokya. And watch your child excel.

Nadia brand ambassador for Arokya milk

Chennai, March 07 : Dairy major Hatsun Agro Product Ltd (HAPL), has romped in actress Nadia as the brand ambassador for its premium milk brand Arokya. Nadia will be featured in a series of new campaigns to be launched by the company from Saturday, C.S. Balaji, general manager, marketing and exports, HAPL, told reporters here today. Speaking on the selection of the new brand ambassador, he said Nadia was perceived as modern, smart and having a healthy outlook on different issues. Arokya's new campaign revolves on the theme of a modern young mother and her outlook to issues faced by her children. Speaking to media Nadia said the role she played in Tamil movie M. Kumaran s/o Mahalakshmi as a strong but a friendly single mother might have had a positive rub on the company's decision in choosing her. Her contract with HAPL is for one year. HAPL sells around 11lakh litres of Arokya milk per day. "Refreshing the media campaign at regular intervals and having a new brand ambassador is part of keeping the brand fresh," Balaji said. Nadia entered the Tamil cine field several years ago and has been the fashion trendsetter amongst the youngsters since then. "I could relate myself easily to an Arokya mother. A child's success depends on the quality time a mom spends and the right choices she makes in nurturing the child's body and mind," she added. HAPL has two more milk brands - Hatsun Komatha and Santosa. - Staff Reporter
