Children are the valuable asset of the nation as well as future and hope of tomorrow, so they should get proper care and love.

बाल दिवस बच्चों को समर्पित भारत का राष्ट्रीय त्योहार है। देश की आजादी में भी नेहरू का बड़ा योगदान था।

प्रधानमंत्री के रूप में उन्होंने देश का उचित मार्गदर्शन किया था। बाल दिवस बच्चों के लिए महत्वपूर्ण दिन होता है। इस दिन स्कूली बच्चे बहुत खुश दिखाई देते हैं। वे सज-धज कर विद्यालय जाते हैं। विद्यालयों में बच्चे विशेष कार्यक्रम आयोजित करते हैं।

वे अपने चाचा नेहरू को प्रेम से स्मरण करते हैं। बाल मेले में बच्चे अपनी बनाई हुई वस्तुओं की प्रदर्शनी लगाते हैं। इसमें बच्चे अपनी कला का प्रदर्शन करते हैं। नृत्य, गान, नाटक आदि प्रस्तुत किए जाते हैं। नुक्कड़ नाटकों के द्वारा आम लोगों को शिक्षा का महत्व बताया जाता है।

बच्चे देश का भविष्य हैं। इसलिए हमें सभी बच्चों की शिक्षा की तरफ ध्यान देना चाहिए। बच्चों के रहन-सहन के स्तर ऊंचा उठाना हमारी प्राथमिकता होनी चाहिए। इन्हें स्वस्थ, निर्भीक और योग्य नागरिक बनाने का प्रयास किया जाना चाहिए। यह बाल दिवस का संदेश है।

14th November Children’s Day Speech For Teachers

Respected Principal/Father, teachers and dear friends,

Today, we are celebrating the happy occasion of Children’s day. It is an occasion every child, every student love to celebrate. We all know that today is the Birth Anniversary of our first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, a leader our country will always remember.

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru loved children. So children also loved him. That is why children fondly called him Chacha Nehru. Chacha means uncle as we all know. When Chacha Nehru was alive children gifted him Red Rose because Chachaji always adorned his coat with a fresh Rose.

Nehruji was born on 14th November 1889 to Motilal Nehru who was a famous leader and lawyer. His mother’s name was Swarup Rani. Jawaharlal Nehru’s sister Bijaylaxmi Pandit was also a great diplomat of our country. Chacha Nehru’s daughter Indira Gandhi was our first woman Prime Minister. When Nehru was fighting against British rulers he was kept in prison by British Government in India. From the Jail, he wrote letters to his daughter Indira. These letters are called “Letters from a Father to His Daughter”. This is considered a must read a book for children. There he wrote about civilizations of the world and natural history. You may want to know how old was Indira Gandhi when Jawaharlal Nehru wrote those letters??

She was only 10 years old. (Many of you/us are now of the same age like Indira Gandhi when she received the letters from her father) Has anyone from you read this book? I insist that you read that book. You can buy that book or borrow from the school/public library.

There are many things you may want to know about Chacha Nehru. Chachaji was a great political leader of our country. Nehruji along with Sardar Vallabhai Patel worked hard to shape the future of our country. Nehruji also worked for World peace. (Nehruji was a great leader of Non-Alignment Movement which gave the world the idea of staying away from was and international polarisation).

Also read: happy new year wishes greetings

He wrote many more books. So we must know about him. But we/you can learn them by yourselves. You should always save time to read great books apart from studying Textbooks and fun books. This will be your true tribute to your beloved Chacha Nehru when we/you become a learned person like him and contribute to our country.

With this, I conclude my speech. And wish you a very very Happy Children’s Day.
