In India, Children's Day is observed to promote awareness about children's rights, education, and overall welfare. Celebrated annually on November 14th, it coincides with the birthday of India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, who had a special fondness for children. Throughout the country, various educational and motivational programs are organized for children on this day. Some schools grant a day off to their students, while private schools often arrange fairs as part of the Children's Day festivities.
