Children's Day is a commemorative day celebrated annually in honor of children. The date varies by country. World Children's Day is celebrated on November 20th every year to commemorate the Declaration of the 'Rights of the Child' by the UN General Assembly. In India, it is celebrated on November 14th on the birthday of the first prime minister of independent India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. He was a passionate advocate of education for India's children and youth and affirmed that education was imperative for the country's growth. He was fondly addressed as 'Chacha Nehru' by children.
