Children’s Day – Remembering Chacha Nehru on 14th November
In India, Children’s Day is celebrated on November 14, which is Pandit Nehru’s birthday.
Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister, loved children and was affectionately called “Chacha Nehru” by little ones. Children’s Day pays tribute to all children and commemorates the birth of Jawaharlal Nehru.
Nehru’s love for children and their welfare is well known. Children always had a special place in their hearts and lives. He was never happier than when in the company of little ones. He believed that children are the future of the nation. During his lifetime, child welfare made great strides in India. His memory will live forever not only with the children of this country but with every citizen.
6 ways to celebrate children’s day
It’s Chacha Nehru’s birthday. And it’s time for a holiday to symbolize Children’s Day. Wouldn’t it be a better way to celebrate Children’s Day?
Here are the 6 ways you can follow to celebrate children’s day.
- Ensuring child labour is really abolished. The law that declared it illegal is obviously an ineffective one. Child labour remains rampant in our country. In industries, at homes, and on the streets.
- Providing children with safe parks and open grounds to play in. Urban Indian children have no concept of the great outdoors. They don’t know what it is to commune with nature.
- Reducing their academic load will provide them with more time and motivation to pursue other interests and hobbies.
- Educating Indian children about the need of keeping cities clean. Every resident has a responsibility to contribute to keeping the city clean because it belongs to all of us.
- Fostering in each child a sense of national pride and a love of India’s rich heritage.
- Encouraging the privileged child to assist the younger children who are less fortunate. being able to empathise, offer resources, and aid in a community of kids.
It would be far better to come together as a family, a neighbourhood, a community, and a nation and give Indian children a better deal in life. Celebrating Children’s Day would be far more meaningful then.
