Good morning to the respected Principal sir, teachers and my dear friends. I would like to speech on this occasion of children’s day about the children’s day celebration and importance of children. I am very grateful to my class teacher to give me such opportunity to speech on this occasion in front of you all. Children’s Day is celebrated on different dates in many countries however, In India, it is celebrated on 14th of November every year to commemorate the birth day of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. Actually the 14th of November is the birth anniversary of the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru which is celebrated as the children’s day every year all over the India. 1st of June is celebrated as the International Children’s Day whereas 20th of November as Universal Children’s Day.
Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru was a true friend of the children. He loved to talk and play with children. He was the Prime Minister of India however loved to remain among children by following his all the political responsibilities towards country. He was very warm hearted person, always inspired and motivated children to be patriotic and happy citizen of the country. Children used to call him as Chacha Nehru because of his love and affection. He was very fond of the roses and children all through his life. Once he said that children are like the buds in the garden. He was very concerned about the condition of the children of the country as he understood children as the future of the country. He wanted that, children should be nurtured by the parents very carefully and lovingly for the bright future of the country.
He understood children as the real strength of the country. He loved children of both sexes equally and believed in giving equal opportunities to both for the actual development of the nation. His genuine love for the children became the reason of getting an endearing name as Chacha Nehru. In order to pay him a tribute, his birth anniversary is celebrated as children’s day all over India after his death in 1964. It is celebrated by organizing variety of activities such as singing, drama play, dancing, essay writing, storytelling, speech, quiz competitions, etc.
Celebrating children’s day memorizes us about the importance of children in making the future of the country. This celebration make a call to every Indian citizen to protect their little ones from all harms by providing better childhood. Now-a-days, children are being victim of many social evils like drug, child abuse, alcohol, sex, hard labour, violence, etc. They are forced to earn little money for hard work in the very small age. They remain away from the healthy life, parents love, education, and other childhood happiness. Children’s day celebration helps us to think again and again about the status of children in the country. Children are the valuable asset of the nation as well as future and hope of tomorrow, so they should get proper care and love.
Thank You
