The children of today, The India of tomorrow..!
“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.” ---Jawaharlal Nehru
In India, Children's Day is celebrated on the 14th November that marks the birth anniversary of legendary freedom fighter and independent India’s first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.
He was a true friend of children. His love for children was the same as his love for red rose. He loved children and kept them dear to his heart. Therefore children called him ‘Chacha Nehru’.
On this day we all need to remember to renew our commitment to the words of Nehru and learn to live by his thoughts and dreams. Nehru was a great statesman, idealist and dreamer. He has written many books including ‘The Discovery of India’, ‘Glimpses of World History’, Letters From A Father To His Daughter’.
When he became the Prime Minister, his first priority was to give good education to children and youth. He brought a revolution in the field of academics in India, and was involved in establishing All India Institute of Medical Sciences, the Indian Institutes of Technology, the Indian Institutes of Management and the National Institutes of Technology.
The future of the country depends upon the present children. If they do not develop in a proper way, the country’s future will be ruined.
We all need to remember the words of Jawaharlal Nehru, “The children of today will make the India of tomorrow. The way we bring them up will determine the future of the country.”
Therefore children should work hard to bring his dream into reality and help to build strong nation to make our country a better place to live in.
