India celebrates Children’s Day on November 14th, marking the birth anniversary of the nation’s first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. This day honors Nehru’s legacy as a staunch advocate for children’s education and rights.
Nehru, affectionately known as ‘Chacha Nehru’ by children, believed deeply in their potential and played a crucial role in establishing the Indian Institute of Technology to foster their growth. His dedication to the welfare of children was formally recognized in 1964 when the government designated his birthday as Children’s Day.
Born in 1889 into a prominent Kashmiri Pandit family, Nehru was a leading figure in India’s fight for independence. He was a prominent member of the Indian National Congress, actively participating in campaigns like the Non-Cooperation Movement and the Quit India Movement.
