Children's
Day in India
Universally, Children’s Day is celebrated
on 20th November and in India this day has been
preponed to 14th November,
the date marks the birth
anniversary of India's first prime minister,
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. Jawaharlal Nehru
loved children and was popular among them as
"chacha"
Nehru, (the word meaning of "chacha"
in Hindi is "uncle"). After his death
in 1963, his birthday has been celebrated as
children's Day in India. Children’s Day
is not just a day to let the future generation
have its say. It is a day to remember a leader
who, in his quiet but determined way, laid the
foundation to convert a nascent nation into
a world power.
Children's Day is celebrated all over India,
especially at the school level with fancy dress
copetitions and meetings. There are also community
activities with stress on children's involvement. |
