Children are the torchbearers of the future. Hence, every school celebrates this day with various events like quiz, debates, cultural programmes like dance, music, and drama. Teachers organize and perform various cultural events for the students.
Chacha Nehru always believed that a child is the future of tomorrow and hence through drama or play the teachers often on this day communicate to the children the importance of having a fulfilled childhood to have a country with better tomorrow.
Many schools also celebrate the day by organizing sports events. School teachers often invite children from nearby orphanage or slum to participate with the students of the school together. Such gestures are very welcoming as the children learn to share and accommodate everyone from society with them. Such gestures also instill a sense of equality among students.
Teachers and parents on this day also shower their love and affection towards the child by distributing gifts, chocolates, and toys. Schools also organize various talk shows, seminars where inspirational personalities from various fields like sports, education, cultural and entertainment sector come and deliver motivational speeches to the students.
Therefore, it is important to raise our children wisely as they are the future of our country. We should take steps to abolish child labor and exploitation. These little flowers will make our nation blooming so it is crucial to understand their importance and help them grow in a good and flourishing environment.
