CHILDREN’S DAY CELEBRATION
Children’s day in India is celebrated on the birthday of the First Prime Minister of Independent India, Late Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru as a day of fun and frolic, a celebration of childhood, children and Nehruji’s love for them. “Chacha Nehru” as the children fondly referred to him, was fond of both children and roses. In fact he often compared the two, saying that children were like the buds in a garden. They should be carefully and lovingly nurtured, as they were the future of the nation and the citizens of tomorrow. He felt that children are the real strength of a country and the very foundation of society. Schools celebrate this day by organizing cultural programmes. Teachers of the school perform songs and dances for their students.
