First of all, I would like to say a very good morning to everyone gathered here to celebrate the children’s day today. At this occasion of children’s day, I would like speech about why the birth anniversary of Pt. Nehru is celebrated as children’s day. I wish you all my dear friends a very happy children’s day. It has been officially declared by the UN General Assembly to celebrate Children’s day on 20th of November, yet it is celebrated on 14th of November all over India annually on the account of birth anniversary of Jawaharlal Nehru. His birthday has been chosen to be celebrated as the children’s day because of his great love, care and affection to the children. He liked to talk and play with children for long time. He wanted to be surrounded by the children all through his life. He worked hard for the betterment of children and youths of the country just after the independence of India on august 15, 1947.
Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru was very much enthusiastic and warm hearted towards children especially about their welfare, rights, education and overall improvement in order to make this country a develop nation. He was very inspiring and motivating in nature, he always inspired the children working hard and bravery works. He was very much concerned about the health and welfare of the children in India, so he worked hard for the children so that they can get their childhood rights. He was called as Chacha Nehru by the children because of his selfless affection to them. His birthday was started celebrating as children’s Day all across the India after his death in 1964.
He always favored childhood and supported them to live proper childhood without any personal, social, national, family and financial responsibilities because they are the future of the nation and responsible for the country development. Childhood becomes the best phase of the life which should be healthy and happy of everyone so that they can be ready to lead their nation ahead. If the children are unhealthy from mind and body, they cannot give their best to their nation in the future. So, the childhood phase of the life is the most significant phase which every parents should nourish with their love, care and affection. As being the citizen of the country, we should understand our responsibilities and save the future of the nation.
Children’s day is celebrated with lots of fun and frolic activities like games, sports, indoor games, outdoor games, dance, drama play, national songs, speech, essay writing etc. activities and all. This is the day which removes all the barriers against children and allows them to celebrate as they want. Students are motivated by the teachers to show their talents at this occasion by participating in the quiz competitions or other type of competitions like painting, modern dress show, singing and cultural programs.
Thank You
