Children\u2019s Day is celebrated on November 14 every year. The day marks the birth anniversary of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, India\u2019s first prime minister. He was given the moniker Chacha Nehru because of his fondness for children. His birthday has been designated as Children\u2019s Day since his death in 1964.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Children are like buds in a garden and should be carefully and lovingly nurtured, as they are the future of the nation and the citizens of tomorrow.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru<\/cite><\/em><\/p>\n

What is the significance of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru\u2019s birthday being designated as Children\u2019s Day?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nehru Ji had a strong affection for children. He believed that they are the nation\u2019s future creators. If we want to safeguard our future, we must all work together to shape the destiny of these youngsters. Our country began to commemorate his birthday as Children\u2019s Day in honour of this. The main goal of this celebration was to raise awareness among all Indians about the importance of providing children with the opportunity to receive an education<\/a>. It is their right to follow a suitable path. Therefore, a well-organized and prosperous nation can be built, and the children\u2019s future can also be secured.<\/p>\n

Jawaharlal Nehru once said that a nation\u2019s property is not in its repository but in its schools. Thus, we must identify our children as the country\u2019s riches, preserve them, and promote their future. We at\u00a0Smile Foundation\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>believe in this firmly.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In our country, Children\u2019s Day is celebrated with great enthusiasm. Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru is honoured on this memorable day. On this day, the stories of Nehru\u2019s contribution for children are remembered.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

His Substantial Contributions<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the context of Indian history, Nehru is significant because he imported and transmitted modern values and methods of thinking. Moreover, he adapted these to Indian situations. Despite India\u2019s ethnic and religious diversity, he emphasised the country\u2019s fundamental oneness. Nehru was genuinely concerned with leading India into the contemporary age of scientific discovery and technical growth. He also instilled in his people a sense of the importance of social care for the destitute and outcasts, as well as a respect for democratic norms.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

During his 17 years as Prime Minister, he promoted democratic socialism as the guiding star, emphasising the importance of India achieving both democracy and socialism. He made progress toward that goal with the aid of the Congress Party\u2019s overwhelming majority in parliament during his period of power. Democracy, socialism, unity, and secularism were the four foundations of his domestic policies. During his lifetime, he was largely successful in preserving the edifice anchored by those four pillars.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nehru\u2019s Philosophy and Our Work<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nehru committed time and effort to developing a coherent national philosophy, in line with his idea that every state required a \u2018national philosophy\u2019 to sustain, cohere, and direct it. For him,\u2019modernisation\u2019 was India\u2019s national philosophy, encompassing seven national objectives: national unity, parliamentary democracy, industrialization, socialism, scientific temper, secularism, and non-alignment. He also established the prestigious educational institutions of Indian Institute of Technology in Kharagpur (IIT) in 1951 and Indian Institute of Kolkata (IIM) in 1961.<\/p>\n

The only way to reform them (children) is to win them over with love. So long as a child is unfriendly, you can\u2019t mend his ways.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Even during the pandemic, our work in this regard has not stopped.<\/p>\n
