Children’s Day is being celebrated across the country today to mark the birth anniversary of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister, whose affection for children earned him the name Chacha Nehru. Schools, institutions and communities are organising cultural programmes with fun activities and awareness drives to honour the joy, curiosity and boundless energy that children bring into our lives.
The day is also a reminder of Nehru’s belief that children hold the promise of a brighter, more compassionate future provided they are nurtured with love, education and equal opportunities.
