India on Thursday is celebrating Children's Day. The day marks tribute to India's first Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru, fondly known as Chacha Nehru among children, who was born on this day in 1889. It is believed that Nehru was fond of children and used to meet kids with immense affection. It was because of his loving attitude towards children that kids fondly called him Chacha. After his death on 27 May, 1964, it was unanimously decided to celebrate his birthday as Bal Diwas or Children's Day in India.
Children's Day or 'Bal Diwas' celebrations aim to spread and increase the awareness about the rights and education of children among people.
India used to celebrate Children’s Day in India on 20th November every year before 1956 as the United Nations, in 1954, had declared the day as Universal Children’s Day. After the death of PM Nehru in 1964, a resolution was passed in the parliament unanimously declaring his the day of his birth anniversary, 14th November as National Children’s Day.
