Why India Celebrates Children’s Day on November 14
Children’s Day is observed across India every year on November 14 to mark the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
Popularly known as ‘Chacha Nehru’ because of his affection for children, Nehru believed that children played an important role in shaping the country’s future.
India initially observed Children’s Day on November 20, which is recognised internationally as Universal Children’s Day. Following Nehru’s death in 1964, Parliament unanimously adopted his birth anniversary, November 14, as National Children’s Day.
The day is observed through educational activities, cultural programmes and initiatives that highlight children’s rights, education, health and overall well-being.
