Children's Day, also referred to as 'Bal Diwas' is celebrated every year on 14 November coinciding with the birth anniversary of Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru.
Children's Day was first celebrated in 1964 after Nehru's death.
Often referred to by Children as 'Chacha Nehru', the first Prime Minister of free India was fond of both children and roses. He is often cited as saying during his life that children should always be carefully and lovingly nurtured, as they are the future of the nation and the citizens of tomorrow.
