CHILDREN'S DAY CELEBRATED IN BOMMANHAL MANDAL

USPA NEWS - Raising awareness for students on child rights, education and welfare while commemorating the birthday of first Prime Minister of India Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.

Children's Day was celebrated on Monday in about sixty schools of Bommanhal mandal. Teachers and students paid rich tributes to Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru's portraits with various floral garlands. The teachers made students aware of child rights, education and welfare. They conveyed best wishes to all children in India. They said that today is a special day for future generations. They explained the importance of Children's Day and Chacha Nehru's attachment to children. Even though Nehru was very rich, he spent his life in prison for the independence of the country and welfare of the people. He wrote letters to his daughter Indira Priyadarshini inspiring her for the country and freedom. As the first Prime Minister of India, he rendered immeasurable service to the country.

They said that the name was fixed because all the children fondly called Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru 'Chacha Nehru'. That's why his birthday will be celebrated as Children's Day. Jawahar Lal Nehru believed that children are the real strength of the country and the foundation of the society, the teachers said. The teachers said that after the death of Chacha Nehru in 1964, his birth anniversary was celebrated as Children's Day in the country. Considering his popularity among children, a resolution was passed in Parliament to celebrate National Children's Day on November 14.
