Children’s Day (Bal Diwas) – 14 November
Children’s Day is celebrated every year in India on 14 November to honor the birth anniversary of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India. Nehru was fondly called “Chacha Nehru” because of his deep love and affection for children, believing that they are the foundation of a strong and progressive nation.
The day emphasizes the importance of child rights, education, health, and overall development. Schools and organizations across the country conduct cultural programs, competitions, and activities to make children feel special and to spread awareness about their welfare.
Children’s Day serves as a reminder to protect children from exploitation, ensure equal opportunities, and help them grow into responsible and capable citizens of the future.
