ITANAGAR, Nov 13:Governor BD Mishra and Chief Minister Pema Khandu have extended heartiest greetings to the children of the state on the occasion of Children’s Day, which commemorates the birth anniversary of the first Prime Minister of India Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru.

In his message, the Governor said that today’s children are the hope to keep the torch of the national aspirations flashing. This Day is also a reminder to every citizen, every parent and guardian of their inalienable obligation to provide best health and education opportunities for their children. Let us, as a society, resolve today to offer equal opportunity to each and every child to excel in life, he appealed.

 “Children are considered building blocks of a strong nation. They are the responsible citizens of  tomorrow as development of the country lies in their hands,” said CM Khandu in a message here this evening and called upon parents, teachers and elders to guide them in right earnest.

The Chief Minister pointed that Children’s Day celebration also reminds everybody about their rights and they deserve respect, special care and protection from elders.

Paying rich tributes to Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, on whose birth anniversary the day is observed as Children’s Day, Khandu said Pandit Nehru’s love for children stemmed from the fact that future of the country depends upon them so they deserve seamless love.

“On this special day dedicated to our children, as parents, teachers and elders let’s pledge that we will not curtail the rights every child deserves and provide them an atmosphere where they can grow at their free will. Let’s handhold them but not dictate and once and for all let’s pledge to abolish child labour,” Khandu added in his message.
