Children’s Day is celebrated every year in India on November 14, to commemorate the birth anniversary of India’s first Prime Minister Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru.

Jawaharlal Nehru was fondly, lovingly & popularly known as “Chacha Nehru” among children.

The children's day celebration across the country is recognized to raise awareness about the rights, care & education of children.

Since 1956, Children's day was celebrated on November 20, but after the death of Jawaharlal Nehru in 1964, a resolution was passed in the Indian Parliament to mark his birthday as Children’s Day.

India celebrated Children’s Day for the first time on 14th November 1957, following a government edict on official notice.

In this initiative, Nehru also established the iconic Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), and the Indian Institute of Management (IIM).
