India celebrates Children’s Day, also known as Bal Diwas, on November 14 every year. The day is celebrated as Children's Day to mark the birth anniversary
of country's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. This day is celebrated as a tribute to Nehru, as fondly remembered by children as 'Chacha Nehru' (Uncle Nehru), he strongly believed in the importance of providing children with a fulfilling and meaningful education. To mark the occasion, various educational and motivational programmes are organised across India, with children taking part in activities designed to inspire, educate and encourage them. Jawaharlal Nehru, born in 1889, was educated in England — at Harrow School and Trinity College, Cambridge, and trained in the law at the Inner Temple. He returned to India after his studies and became a barrister, after which he gradually shifted to Indian politics. His significant contribution to laying the foundation of India's education system is commemorated across the country by observing his birth anniversary as National Education Day.
