Passion For Children Festivity

India is six days ahead of all the other countries in celebrating Children's Day. The reason behind the re-setting of the widely accepted date of festivity is based on Pandit Nehru's passion for the children of India. Nehru's date of birth is November 14th. Later, his birthday was declared as a day of frolic and fun commemoration of childhood.

Unlike in the Canadian Children's festival, not all Indian children participate in the celebration. The out of school children are not given the opportunity to join the event since the festivity is usually held in schools. Students organize, administer, and participate in the program. They even have musical and dance performances while several institutions – social, corporate, and cultural – conduct contests such as quizzes, elocutions, and dress competitions wherein all the children are allowed to join. On the other hand, teachers prepare dance and song performances for the students. Lastly, the celebrants are made to watch movies while television stations air children's programs on the said date.

If the event is held to celebrate the rights and existence of our little ones, then I think that it's only empirical that we give children the care and support that they need and rightfully deserve. As we all know, not all parts of India supports children's welfare because of poverty and disoriented society.
