Pt Jawahar Lai Nehru was a great freedom fighter. He was the first Prime Minister of India. He loved children very much. He found himself happy in the company of the children. He was called “Chacha Nehru” by the children.

Pt. Nehru used to celebrate his birthday as the “Children’s Day” i.e. 14th November. On this day meetings are held, games and sports and many more programmes are held. Children take part in programmes of dancing, singing and sporting. Children’s films are shown free to children on this day. In schools students are encouraged to take part in merry-making. Sweets are distributed among the children. Thus, this day is the most important day for the children.

Today’s children are the future leaders of India. They have to com­plete the remaining work of our leaders. Children should be loved by the elders. They should be given full opportunity to be our future leaders, writers, scientists and what not.
