Children's Day is observed in India every year on November 14 to honour the first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. Nehru, who was born in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, was known as 'Chacha Nehru' due to his affection for children.
Following the death of Nehru on May 27, 1964, Parliament passed a resolution to celebrate his birthday as National Children's Day. Previously, India observed the day on November 20, which is the United Nations' Universal Children's Day.
