Children's Day Speech for School Assembly
CHILDREN'S DAY SPEECH

Respected Headmaster, teachers and my dear friends,
Today we have assembled here to celebrate the Birth Anniversary of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru as Children's day. He was fondly called as Chacha Nehru by all children in a loving manner. He loved children very much so he decided to celebrate his birth day as children's day. Nehru was born on 14th November, 1889 in Allahabad. His father was Motilal Nehru and Mother was Swaroop Rani. Since from his childhood, he was very intelligent boy in all aspects. After completion of his schooling in Allahabad, he went to England for his higher studies . On completion of his studies, he returned to India in 1912 as a lawyer in profession. In India there were many movements started by different freedom fighters of India against the British people. So, Nehru also joined the Indian National Congress in 1920. It was the period of Mahatma Gandhi who leaded the whole freedom struggle. Nehru also got very much attached with the policies of Mahatma Gandhi that is 'Peace & Non-violence'.

He actively took part in all freedom movement started by Mahatma Gandhi. This made a great change in the freedom struggle. Slowly and slowly people started joining the struggle finally it is possible to consolidate a huge mob in the movement like Non-cooperation movement, Dandi March, Quite India Movement and many more. He went to jail for many times but that didn't stop him from fighting for the country . Finally India got its freedom on 15th August, 1947. Jawaharlal Nehru became the first prime Minister of India in 1951. He was honoured by the country with Bharat Ratna in 1955.
So, on the behalf of the entire school I am wishing you all a very happy childrens day.
Jai

    Gandhi was the leader of the Indian Independence movement in British ruled India. He resisted the government by using non-violent disobedience. You must keep in mind that the system that he lived in(British ruled India) was very organized and it was very hard to resist the governments laws. He used one of the most effective methods of gathering the people and controlling them to his will. For example when the people made revolts against the British government Gandhi would starve himself to get them to listen because the people really cared about him. This method can only work if the people really care about you. At 5:17 PM on 30 January 1948 Gandhi was assassinated by Nathuram Godse in the garden of the Birla house. In 1930 Mahatma Gandhi challenged the British government by ignoring the salt tax with a 400 km Salt…

    Gandhi began his movement after he returned from South Africa, and tried to persuade the British government to let go India. Over there, he witnessed plenty discrimination, especially since the apartheid (segregation) laws were still in force. This experience led him to notice the inhumane inequality around the world, especially in his home country, India. Once returning to India, he declared his Civil Disobedience Movement, which only protests that were nonviolent and peaceful. For example, shortly after the massacre, he began the Salt March , where he and thousands of others made salt illegally from mud and seawater (International Center of Nonviolent Conflict). He was liked nationwide not only because of his nonviolent campaigns, but also because he included the “untouchables”, which were the Dalits (International Center of Nonviolent Conflict). Although the a large amount of the population were outcasts and lower-class people, he quickly became controversial amongst politicians in India (International Center of Nonviolent Conflict). Being inclusive, Gandhi continued his movement. Even though he wasn’t well liked by politicians, he had the support of millions. Around World War II, the struggle for freedom was at its peak (Britannica School). After a scandal with a British politician in 1942, Gandhi announced a new movement, the Quit India movement, to finally make India its own self-governing nation.
