Children’s Day 2018: The nation is celebrating the 130th birth anniversary of the first prime minister of independent India, Pt Jawaharlal Nehru. Pt Nehru, who was born on November 14, 1889, was known for his love for children and was fondly called Chacha Nehru. He once said: “The children of today will make the India of tomorrow. The way we bring them up will determine the future of the country”.

Before 1964, Children’s day was celebrated in India on November 20, which was observed as the universal Children’s Day by the United Nations. But after Nehru’s death in 1964, the nation decided to celebrate his birthday as Bal Diwas (Children’s Day) to honour his memory.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tributes to the leader and remembered his contribution in India’s freedom struggle.

Children are the best teachers, they inspire us to have the courage to dream big. They remind us that with honesty and determination, every hurdle can be crossed. Wishing a happy Children’s Day to the child within every adult and their little ones. #ChildrensDay pic.twitter.com/tqDc9hiyDs
