India celebrates Children’s Day, or Bal Diwas, every year on November 14 to mark the birth anniversary of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the country’s first Prime Minister. Fondly known as Chacha Nehru, he was deeply loved by children and believed that “the children of today will make the India of tomorrow.”
While the United Nations celebrates Universal Children’s Day on November 20, India observes it on November 14 to honour Nehru’s affection for children and his vision for their education and well-being.
Why We Celebrate Children’s Day
Pandit Nehru, born on November 14, 1889, was a strong advocate for education, equality, and child welfare. He envisioned a nation where every child could grow with freedom, curiosity, and imagination. Children’s Day, therefore, is not only a celebration of childhood but also a reminder of our collective responsibility to nurture young minds and shape a brighter future.
