Children's Day in India, celebrated on November 14, honors the birth anniversary of India's first prime minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, who was deeply fond of children and considered them the future of the nation.
Known as Chacha Nehru (Uncle Nehru) among children, Nehru believed that every child deserves a nurturing environment to thrive and grow. The day serves as a reminder of Nehru's vision for India’s youth, focusing on their well-being, education, and development, and on creating a society that fosters love, care, and equal opportunities for all children.
