Children’s Day Celebration
Hello, my dear little stars! Do you know there’s one day every year that’s all about you? Yes, you heard me right — it’s called Children’s Day, and it’s one of the happiest days in school! Why do we celebrate Children’s Day? Every year in India, Children’s Day is celebrated on November 14th. Do you want to know why this date is so important? Well, November 14th is the birthday of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the very first Prime Minister of India. But he wasn’t just a great leader — he had a very big heart for children. He loved spending time with kids, listening to them, and watching them play. Children loved him so much that they started calling him Chacha Nehru or Chachaji — isn’t that sweet? Nehru and His Love for Children Chacha Nehru believed children are like buds in a garden — small, beautiful, and full of promise. Just like a gardener carefully takes care of flowers, he felt that children should be nurtured with love, care, and education. He once said, Children are the future of the nation.That means YOU are the future — the ones who will grow up and make the world a better place. Isn’t that amazing? How do we celebrate Children’s Day? Now, this is the fun part! In many schools, children don’t have to do anything but enjoy — yes, really! Why is it so special? Because it reminds everyone — parents, teachers, and leaders — how important you are. It tells the world that children need to be loved, protected, and given the chance to grow strong and smart. So remember, Children’s Day is not just about fun. It’s also a day to celebrate who you are — bright, beautiful, and full of possibilities! FAQs Q: Who was Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru?
