Children's Day Speech
Respected Principal, teachers and my dear friends,
As we all know, we have gathered here to celebrate Children’s day. Firstly, let me tell you why are we celebrating Children’s Day on November 14.
In India, we celebrate Children’s Day on November 14 as a tribute to Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, was born on November 14, 1889 — thus, we commemorate his birth anniversary as Children’s Day in India. Nehru was a prominent leader of the Indian independence movement. He served as Prime Minister of India twice.
He shared a lovely bond with children and was very affectionate towards them. Children also loved and fondly called him “Cha-cha Nehru”.
He advocated for children to have compulsory education. He also believed that children are the future of our nation, hence they should be nurtured and educated well.
Before I conclude, I would like to say one famous quote by Chacha Nehru, “The children of today will make the India of tomorrow. The way we bring them up will determine the future of the country.”
NEW DELHI:
November 14
is celebrated as the
Children's Day
every year in India. It's also the birthday of our first prime minister of India, Pandit
Jawaharlal Nehru
. Fondly known as Chacha Nehru, it was his affection towards children that his birthday, November 14, is celebrated as the
Children's Day in India
. Nehru may not have time for adults but had enough time for children. He advocated children to have a fulfilled childhood and receive high education.
Nehru is well-known for his love for children and roses. He once said, "The children of today will make the India of tomorrow. The way we bring them up will determine the future of the country."
On these Children's Day, here are some of the beautiful quotes by
JawaharLal Nehru
that shows his affection towards children…
"The only way to reform them (children) is to win them over with love. So long as a child is unfriendly, you can't mend his ways. He can be disciplined, if his attention is drawn to some other activity, like a voluntary body in Delhi (1960s) B_S used to do. They learn many things there during vocations, without any compulsion of the sort, and then their minds get diverted to constructive channels."
"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. ""Only through right education can a better order of society be built up."
"The vast army of children across the world, outwardly different kinds of clothes, and yet so very like another. If you bring them together, they play or quarrel, but even their quarrel is some kind of play. They do not think of differences among-st themselves, difference of class or caste or color or status. They are wiser than their father(s) or mother(s)."
