Children's Day is celebrated across India to increase awareness of the rights, care and education of children. It is celebrated on 14th November every year as a tribute to India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. Fondly known as "Chacha (Uncle) Nehru" among children, he advocated for children to have a fulfilling education. On this day, many educational and motivational programs are held across India, by and for children.
Nehru once said, "The children of today will make the India of tomorrow. The way we bring them up will determine the future of the country."
Nehru also firmly believed that children should be given the right to education. On education, he had a broader mindset, "The object of education was to produce a desire to serve the community as a whole and to apply the knowledge gained not only for personal but for public welfare."
