Nehru, fondly known as “Chacha Nehru” by children, strongly advocated for children’s education and development. He believed they were crucial to India’s future. After his death in 1964, the Indian Parliament declared his birthday as Children’s Day, replacing the UN’s Universal Children’s Day on November 20th.
Children’s Day serves as a reminder of the importance of providing a safe and fulfilling childhood for all children, regardless of background. This includes access to basic necessities like shelter, education, healthcare, and sanitation.
Beyond basic needs, the day emphasizes protecting children’s rights and safeguarding them from abuse, trafficking, and child labor. This is particularly significant in India, a nation with millions of orphans who rely on collective responsibility for their well-being.
