New Delhi: Children's Day, or Bal Diwas, is celebrated each year on November 14. The day marks Jawaharlal Nehru's birth anniversary. Pandit Nehru, or Chacha Nehru as he was fondly referred to, was India's first Prime Minister and known across the nation for his love and affection for children. Pandit Nehru was born on November 14, 1889. On Children's Day, young people across the nation honour the memory of Chacha Nehru. Schools and colleges across India often organise fun-filled activities to mark the occasion of Children's Day.
United Nations' Universal Children's Day, which was established in 1954, is celebrated on November 20 each year to promote international togetherness, awareness among children worldwide and improving children's welfare. Interestingly, India too previously celebrated Children's Day on November 20. That is, until the death of Pandit Nehru in 1964, when it was decided to celebrate the leader's birthday as Bal Diwas or Children's Day in India.
