Children’s day speech

I welcome you all to the celebration of Children’s Day. This day is dedicated to children to
commemorate the work and love put in by our first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, this
marks his 132nd anniversary. Jawaharlal Nehru became our first Prime Minister in 1947 after India
was declared an independent nation and he reigned for 16 years, and he always advocated for
children’s rights for safety, health, and education. He was tutored privately with a tutor in his early
years and he understood the importance of education and the good outcomes it can lead to. He
loved his time with children and children also were very fond of him as they referred to him as
“Chacha Nehru” and “Chachaji”. He had a great vision for India, to make it into a world leader and he
knew that was only possible if the young people are nurtured from childhood, by giving them the
freedom to dream and have the basic amenities and the right to be protected and taken care
of. Among the basic rights for children education and health were of extreme importance and he
ensured to enlighten people with the same philosophy and encouraged parents and teachers to give
their children wings to fly and dream the future they want to create and allow room for mistakes
and improvements as these qualities empower them to innovate and build a better nation. So let’s
be the children our nation is proud of and create a better tomorrow for everyone around. I wish you
all the best and a Happy Children’s Day. Thank you.
