Children's Day ଶିଶୁ ଦିବସ

                 Children's Day

History:

In India, we all know that Children's Day is celebrated on November 14, which is the birthday of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. But prior to 1956, India celebrated Children's Day on November 20. As it's the date observed as Universal Children's Day by the United Nations.

The officially recognized date of Children's Day varies from country to country.

So after the death of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, India started celebrating Children's Day, i.e. 'Bal Diwas' on his birth anniversary. Because, he was more popular among the children. They used to call him as "Chacha Nehru".

Significance:

Children's Day is celebrated to increase awareness of the rights, care and education of children. It is also important to look after the safety and security of children. They are the future of the nation.
Children's Day emphasizes on the importance of giving love, care, attention and affection to children.

Celebration: 

Children's Day is celebrated with much enthusiasm and excitement. Different competitions are held, for example Fancy Dress, Recitation, Dance, Story Telling etc. And the winners are awarded prizes and certificates. Sweets are distributed to all children.
