“Bal Diwas” – Children’s day

What a beautiful reverberating memory it is to think of the Children’s day we had always looked forward to! Contests, prize distributions, sure of sweet distributions, cultural festival displays and the buzz in the schools that never faded right from play school to finishing school!!!

Children’s day is being celebrated globally to honor children and to protect them from laboring lengthy hours amidst risky circumstances and to encourage children to be educated. The United Nations general assembly recommended agreed to declare the rights of children of their basic welfare and education which was proposed in 1954 and adopted in 1956. Latter the Convention of the rights were rated by 191 nations on the November 20th in 1989 to be a global Children’s day.

In India Children’s day is celebrated on our first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru’s birthday. He emphasized on giving love and affirmation to little children, whom he saw as the bright shining stars of India. The love he displayed for children and the way he stole their hearts still moves our hearts while we fondly remember him as our “Cha Cha Jawaharlal Nehru”.
