Every year, November 14th marks a moment of joy and celebration in India as the nation comes together to honor Children’s Day. This year, however, there’s extra reason to celebrates, it’s the 135th birth anniversary of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister and the beloved "Chacha Nehru."
Nehru, a visionary leader and passionate advocate for children's rights, saw the nation’s future in the hands of its youngest. His deep belief in the power of childhood education and growth led him to establish Children's Day in 1964. The day was created to acknowledge that every child holds the potential to shape the country's future.
