Why is Children's Day celebrated on November 14 in India?
Children's Day, also known as Bal Diwas, is celebrated in India on November 14 every year to commemorate the birth anniversary of Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first Prime Minister.
Born on November 14, 1889, Nehru was affectionately known as 'Chacha Nehru' because of his fondness for children.
He believed children were the foundation of a nation's future and emphasized the importance of their education, welfare, and overall development.
India initially observed Children's Day on November 20, coinciding with Universal Children's Day.
Following Nehru's death in 1964, November 14 was chosen as the date to commemorate his birth anniversary and celebrate children across the country.
The occasion is marked by special programmes, cultural performances, games and activities in schools.
It also serves as a reminder of the need to protect children's rights and ensure that every child has access to education, healthcare, safety and equal opportunities.
