HAPPY CHILDRENS DAY - by Obed Khan (Vowel Education Academy)

     Children Day or Bal Diwas, in Hindi, is a day when students across schools in India indulge in various recreational activities and merrymaking. Children’s Day is celebrated in India as a tribute to Jawaharlal Nehru who was born on November 14, 1889. The day continues to be a special for children as they are showered with gifts, and more importantly, a lot of attention.

       However, before India’s independence in 1947, Children’s Day was celebrated on November 20, the day observed by the United Nations as universal Children’s Day. But after Nehru’s death in 1964, it was unanimously decided to celebrate Children’s Day on the birthday of the first Prime Minister as a tribute to his love for children.

    The day emphasises on the importance of giving love, attention and affection to children. “The children of today will make the India of tomorrow. The way we bring them up will determine the future of the country,” said Nehru. The main purpose of this day is to encourage the welfare of children all over the country.

      And Teachers have a great responsibility and opportunity to make our students contributors to the welfare of our country India, not only as excellent performers but even as good, morally upright, kind and exemplary humanbeings. Today, on Children’s day we re-examine our commitment towards achieving this Goal. Happy Children’s Day from VOWEL EDUCATION ACADEMY
