Children’s Day : A Day For The Child In Each One Of Us

Their voices ring through the corridors of every school around the world. Their naughty antics are the talk of every ground in your neighborhood. They are children, the future of your and every nation. Children’s Day is a day dedicated to the proper nurturing and development of children all over the world. Celebrated on different dates in different countries, this day is a reminder to all adults about the importance of children in a society. It is also a great way to remind us of how important it is to keep the child in each one of us alive.

India celebrates Children’s Day on 14^th Nov each year. All Indians are aware that the great love for children exhibited by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru is the reason why the nation celebrates this day on his birthday. You may recall that Panditji or Chacha Nehru (as he used to be fondly called by the children in those days) was known to compare children with roses. He would often say that children are like rose buds, who need to be nourished and well treated to ensure full blooming of their personalities. For all of us, however, Children’s Day is that fun day in school when there were no studies and only celebrations. Image courtesy : indif.com

All over the country, children’s day is an official holiday in brightly decorated schools. However, children are required to take part in all the competitive and cultural activities that are held in the place. Did you know that almost every school in India has a healthy participation for cultural and academic programs held on children’s day every year? Let us take a quick look at how different activities fill the day in different schools.

• Cultural Activities: From song to dance, from mime shows to one-act plays, you get to see a wide variety of cultural activities in Indian schools on the fourteenth of November every year. The performance may be in group or solo, the preparation time may range from one week to two months. The final result brings glee on the faces of teachers and students alike. Parents visiting the cultural program get a peek into the growing talent of their children on that day.  
• Academic and Co-curricular Competitions: Debates, elocutions, recitations, quiz programs, and panel discussions are only a few examples of the different academics based competitions held on this day. These activities add to the intellectual quotient of every participant, as he or she is required to look beyond text books and develop views basing on real life. Last but not the least, they handle the mammoth pressure of sharing their thoughts on a public platform. Along with this, there are sports events organized to showcase the players the school can boast of.
• Social Awareness Programs: Most of these celebrations wind up with lunch and mild social awareness programs for the children to participate in. These could include tree planting, campus cleaning, distribution of food and clothing to poor and so on.

Thus, most schools ensure that children get a chance to draw out rare talents in them, keeping the vision of Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru alive.

Children's Day

II Children's Day - 14th November II

 

 

Children's day, in hindi known as "Bal Diwas", in India falls on November 14th every year and for good reason. Children's day in India is celebrated on Pandit Nehru's birthday as a day of fun and frolic, a celebration of childhood, children and Nehruji's love for them.

About Jawahar Lal Nehru On November14, 1889, a son was born to an eminent lawyer, Motilal Nehru and his wife Swaroop Rani at Allahabad. They named him Jawaharlal. He was a brilliant, kindhearted child who was greatly loved by all. His father wanted to give him the best education and hence sent him to England for his M.A. from Cambridge. The British ruled India at that time.When he returned to India, young Jawaharlal realized that he wanted to help the poor and the downtrodden. He took part in the Freedom Struggle of India and

became a follower of Mahatma Gandhi who had just returned from South Africa at that time. When India gained its independence, he became the first Prime Minister of free India.

He was a perfect blend of eastern philosophical values and western scientific thinking and encouraged technological progress. But he was also a man of letters and a great poet and wrote some famous works like, ‘Glimpses of World History’ and ‘Discovery of India’. His letters to his daughter, Indira, were also compiled into a book and reflects his philosophical outlook, his compassion and above all, his tender heart. 

 

 

The Birth of Chacha Nehru

Chacha Nehru as the children fondly referred to him, was fond of both children and roses. In fact he often compared the two, saying that children were like the buds in a garden. They should be carefully and lovingly nurtured, as they were the future of the nation and the citizens of tomorrow. He felt that children are the real strength of a country and the very foundation of society. He was the ‘beloved’ of all the children who gave him the endearing name of ‘Chacha Nehru’.

 

 

Celebrations

As a tribute to this great man and his love for the children, his birthday is celebrated all over India as ‘CHILDREN’S DAY’. Most schools have cultural programmes for the day, with the students managing it all. All over the country, various cultural, social, and even corporate, institutions conduct competitions for children. Children's Day is a day for children to engage in fun and frolic. Schools celebrate this day by organizing cultural programmes. Teachers of the school perform songs and dances for their students.
Therefore, Children's Day is special. It is a day set aside to remember Pandit Nehru and his love for children.
