Why is Children’s Day Celebrated on November 14? History and Significance

Every year on November 14, India celebrates Children’s Day, also known as Bal Diwas, a day devoted to honoring the innocence, aspirations, and future of the nation’s youth. India’s first prime minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, who was affectionately referred to by children as “Chacha Nehru,” was born on this memorable day.

Why November 14th?

Young people adored Pandit Nehru because of his sincere compassion for kids and his outlook for their future.

He felt that children should be raised with love and care since they are the country’s greatest asset.

Soon after his death in 1964, November 14th was designated as Children’s Day in India in remembrance of his legacy and his close relationship with children.

The importance of Children’s Day

In India, Children’s Day serves as a reminder of the part that children play in determining the destiny of the nation and goes beyond simple celebration. Special events, such as storytelling sessions, games, and cultural programs, are organized by schools all around the country.

In order to make the day fun and memorable, teachers frequently perform and give out candy to the pupils.

Additionally, the day is a chance to raise awareness of the value of education, children’s rights, and a nurturing atmosphere for their development.
