Answer
Children’s Day is celebrated every year on November 14th. This day is celebrated on the birthday of our first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, who was also known as Chacha Nehru. Jawaharlal Nehru was fond of children, and children loved him equally. Therefore, the 14th of November was declared Children’s Day. Nehru advocated for the well-rounded education of children, as he believed that children were the building blocks of the nation and its future.
On this day, many places across the country celebrate by organising cultural programmes that include singing and dance, plays and skits, fancy dress competitions and refreshments for the children. They are gifted toys, stationery, clothes, chocolates and other such fun goodies and are also shown child-friendly movies. Keeping Nehru’s dream of child education alive, a lot of organisations also donate books and toys to orphanages where children can make use of the resources. Children’s Day is celebrated with a lot of enthusiasm across the nation.
