Children's Day (Bal Diwas) is celebrated on 14 November, the birthday of Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India. Bal Divas was first celebrated in 1964 after the death of Nehru. He was lovingly called 'Chacha Nehru' by children.
Nehru was very much fond of children. He treated them with much love and affection. Nehru used to distribute sweets, flowers and other gifts to children. He found in them the future of our great nation.
Children's Day is also an occasion to spread awareness about children’s rights. We must provide all educational facilities to every child.
For the progress of children Nehru established many educational institutions throughout the country. To give him great respect and tribute we celebrate his birth day as a festival. On this occasion, we must also appreciate his contributions for the development of our country.
On this day many cultural programs are organized in schools all over India. Several competitions are also organized for students. Teachers and the other staff of schools and officials of the government also may participate in Bal Divas celebrations.
On this day, all over the country various cultural and social institutions may also conduct celebrations and competitions for children. Children's Day is viewed as a great day for the kids.
