History and Significance of Children's Day:

Jawaharlal Nehru was born on November 14, 1889 and was a strong advocate for children's rights and education. After he died in 1964, a national committee decided to celebrate his birthday as Children's Day (Bal Diwas) to honour his contributions to children's welfare.

For his affection towards children, Jawaharlal Nehru is also commonly known as 'Chacha Nehru' among children. He once said, "The children of today will make the India of tomorrow. The way we bring them up will determine the future of the country."

The day celebrates Nehru's vision for children's education and well-being. The day aims to promote children's rights, health, education and overall development. The annual celebration also highlights the importance of providing a safe and nurturing environment for children to grow.

Here are some inspiring quotes by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru:

"Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you is determinism; the way you play it is free will"

"The children of today will make the India of tomorrow"
