“ I like being with children and talking to them and, even more, playing with them. For the moment I forget that I am terribly old and it is very long ago since I was a child”-

Jawaharlal Nehru

Jawaharlal Nehru was our first Prime Minister who loved children very much throughout his life. Since his death in 1963, his birth day is being celebrated as Children’s Day in India.

Children are the future of a nation

Nehru thought children are the future of a nation and they need utmost care. Children win over our hearts with their angelic eyes and innocent smiles. Nehru was very fond of children and often referred to as Chacha Nehru. Nehru advocated children to have a fulfilled childhood and receive high education. Children’s Day commemorates the birth of Jawaharlal Nehru with immense joy and magnificence throughout all educational institutions across India.

CHACHA NEHRU’S MESSAGE

We should not lose sight of Chacha Nehru’s message: that is providing our children with a safe and lo ving environment in which to grow as well as giving them ample and equal opportunities through which they can take great strides and contribute to the progress of the nation. This day serves as a reminder to each and every one of us, to renew our commitment to the welfare of children.

WE RECOLLECT…

We have to recollect the words of Jawaharlal Nehru “Can you recognize the flowers by their names and the birds by their singing? How easy it is to make friends with them and with everything in nature, if you go to them affectionately and with friendship”. Dears, remember, children are like flowers and butterflies.
