Children`s day, in hindi known as "Bal Diwas", in India falls on November 14th every year and for good reason. Children`s day in India is celebrated on Pandit Nehru`s birthday as a day of fun and frolic, a celebration of childhood, children and Nehruji`s love for them.
About Jawahar Lal Nehru 
On November14, 1889, a son was born to an eminent lawyer, Motilal Nehru and his wife Swaroop Rani at Allahabad. They named him Jawaharlal. He was a brilliant, kindhearted child who was greatly loved by all.
His father wanted to give him the best education and hence sent him to England for his M.A. from Cambridge. The British ruled India at that time. When he returned to India, young Jawaharlal realized that he wanted to help the poor and the downtrodden. He took part in the Freedom Struggle of India and became a follower of Mahatma Gandhi who had just returned from South Africa at that time. When India gained its independence, he became the first Prime Minister of free India.
He was a perfect blend of eastern philosophical values and western scientific thinking and encouraged technological progress.
