In India\, Children's Day als o known as Bal Divas\, is celebrated across the country to increase awaren ess towards the rights\, care and education of children.\nIt is celebrated on November 14 every year\, coinciding with the birth anniversary of the first Prime Minister of India\, Jawaharlal Nehru\, also called as 'Chacha Nehru'. Nehru is often cited as saying that children should always be care fully and lovingly nurtured\, as they are the future of the nation and the citizens of tomorrow. Bal Diwas was first celebrated in 1964 after the de ath of Pandit Nehru.\nJawaharlal Nehru aimed "to convert India’s economy into that of a modern state and to fit her into the globalized world." Ne hru understood that India had not been at the forefront of the Industrial Revolution\, and hence made an effort to promote higher education\, and sc ience and technology in India. Inauguration of the first Indian Institute of Technology at Kharagpur in West Bengal\, in 1951 was one of the many in itiatives that Prime Minister Nehru took towards the spreading of the cult ure of innovation in the country.\nAs per a report published in the Times of India\, on November 14\, 2014\, when asked about the significance of Ba l Divas\, 11 year old Shaheen said\, "Baal to sabke hote hai\, isme mithai kyon baatein? (Everyone has hair\; why distribute sweets to celebrate the day?). Like many other kids working on the streets\, November 14 was just another day for Shaheen and her friends who work as rag pickers on the Sa hastradhara trenching ground.\nThis was true of most kids earning a living who were unaware of the celebrations happening around the country. Busy w ashing tea cups outside a chai stall on Rajpur Road\, Deepu\, who lives in a slum close to the Rispana river\, drew a blank when asked about Nehru. "Who is he? Is he one of our customers\," he whispered\, even as his emplo yer hollered at him to carry on with the dishes.\nThus\, in an effort to s pread awareness about the importance of education and innovation amongst c hildren\, IP4Kids\, a CSR Initiative of S.S. Rana &\; Co.\, is organizi ng an Essay Competition on Children's Day on the theme\, "Education and In novation: Towards a better India"\nYoung minds are encouraged to focus on the theme of Children’s Day\, and hence may contemplate writing on topic s related to –\n\n\n Favorite Scientist\n Favorite Innovation\n Importan ce of Education\n Right to Education\n\nLast date for Submission-\nNovembe r 12\, 2017.\nThe Process-\n\n\n School students are invited to submit the ir essays focusing on themes relating to innovation\, technology\, science \, education\, etc. before the deadline of November 12\, 2017.\n Qualified Experts and Judges appointed by IP4kids and S.S.
