India marked Children's Day on Nov 20 before Nehru's death
Before Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru's demise, India celebrated Children's Day on November 20, which is observed as Universal Children's Day by the United Nations. Children's Day is now celebrated in India on November 14, his birthday, due to his affection for children. Notably, Pandit Nehru ensured free primary education for children and helped in establishing institutions like AIIMS, IIT, and IIM.
