Kids fondly used to call him Chachaji or Chacha Nehru, and as part of the special days, would dress up like him with a red rose pinned to the lapel of the knee-length Nehru jacket.

Special cultural programmes, activities and competitions have come to be arranged in schools to engage children in fun.

Children's Day is celebrated on various dates across the globe, and on various occasions. Universal Children's Day is observed by the United Nations on November 20 every year.
