HappY ChildreN's DaY!!!


On behalf of the entire team of Nature Clinic, we wish everyone A HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY!!!

Let us all bring out the child within us today and everyday of our lives to make this world a lot better place to live in! To most of us, family means the love and joy of children. The joy they bring in our lives- the sound of his laughter, the color of her eyes, those rainbows of emotions on its face...
MORE ABOUT CHILDREN'S DAY:
Children's day was first celebrated worldwide in October, 1953, under the sponsorship of International Union for Child Welfare, Geneva. The idea of Universal Children's Day was mooted by late Shri V.K. Krishna Menon and adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1954. 20 November is Universal Children's Day. First proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in 1954, it was established to encourage all countries to institute a day, firstly to promote mutual exchange and understanding among children and secondly to initiate action to benefit and promote the welfare of the world's children. 20 November is the anniversary of the day when the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1959. The Convention on the Rights of the Child was then signed on the same day in 1989, which has since been ratified by 191 states.
In India, Children's Day is celebrated on November 14 every year. This date marks the birth anniversary of independent India’s first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru as he was very fond of children. Children's day is celebrated on this day in recognition of his lifelong passion and work for children.
