Children's Day 2024: Why It's Called 'Bal Diwas'?
NDTV
By celebrating Children's Day as Bal Diwas, India reinforced the cultural and emotional significance of the day, making it a uniquely Indian celebration rooted in national pride and values.
In India, Children's Day is celebrated on November 14 every year to celebrate the birth anniversary of country's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru who was known for his deep affection towards children. The day is also known as 'Bal Diwas' because it appreciates and acknowledges children as they are the future of the county.
In 1925, a proposal was presented to celebrate Children's Day in the World Conference for Child Welfare. Since then, Children's Day started being celebrated from June 1, 1950. Since Jawaharlal Nehru, who was adorably referred to as 'Chacha Nehru' by children, was a great advocate for children's rights, India decided to celebrate his birthday as Children's Day or Bal Diwas.
