CElEBRATING CHIlDHOOD
Children are the most valuable resource; they are the future of our society. Childhood is the foundation of life as the values and discipline learned as a child remains for a lifetime. India has been blessed with over 193 million children in the age group of six to 14 years and out of which at least 35 million children do not attend school.
Being the youngest country in the whole world, we need to treasure our children and provide them with opportunities and an environment to go to school and grow into persons they truly deserve to be and that every child has cherishing memories of their school life to live by. Childhood has a great significance in the making of an adult.
Therefore, the Children’s Day is very important event not only for children but also for parents and teachers as this is the day to celebrate the spirit of childhood and to remind ourselves that our children need to be loved and cared for. If every child is nurtured with care, our nation will be at the forefront in all spheres in the world. Children are vulnerable and need to be loved and cared for. If our children are weak, then the future of our society will be weak.
We owe our children, the most vulnerable citizens in our society, a life free of violence and fear. It is a shared responsibility of both parent-teachers and children themselves. How true are the words” “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
Former president of South Africa, the late Nelson Mandela had aptly said: “Safety and security don’t just happen, they are the result of collective consensus and public investment. We owe our children, the most vulnerable citizens in our society, a life free of violence and fear.”
