The most joyful day celebrating innocence, childhood, and joy, Children’s Day is that day which portrays significance, celebration, and honor toward children and their rights reflecting the importance of education, health, and well-being. It’s celebrated in India every year on November 14 as Children’s Day, a day to honor the children of the country by promoting their welfare. So when we talk about the established cricketers, many of them had their roots developed in childhood that led them to the national heroes we know today, so let’s have a glimpse at their childhood, as well let’s unfold the history behind this celebration in India.
Children’s Day in India celebrates childhood, honors the rights, education, health, and well-being of children and reminds society to treat them as a treasure to be protected and nurtured. Every year on 14 November, it is celebrated in honor of India’s first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, who loved children very dearly and was also fondly called ‘Chacha Nehru.’ The children’s interest and care were other significant philosophies of Nehru’s leadership, following his death in 1964, it was declared that his birthday, November 14, was to be celebrated as Children’s Day in India. Since the first governmental celebration took place in 1965, Children’s Day has centered its advocacy on supporting young lives amid challenges still facing them today, including inadequate healthcare, education, and protection against exploitation. It demands that the government and society create a safer, more equal place in which children can grow to contribute to their country’s future.
