children's day

Children’s Day is an annual celebration honoring children’s rights, welfare, and well‑being. Many countries observe it on different dates—most commonly on the second Sunday of June (e.g., United States) or on November 20 (the UN’s International Children’s Day). In India it is celebrated on November 14, the birthday of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, who was fond of children. Activities typically include school programs, games, performances, and special outings or gifts for kids, while governments and NGOs use the day to promote child‑health, education, and protection initiatives.
