Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday paid his tribute to India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru on his 132nd birth anniversary. "Tributes to Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Ji on his birth anniversary," he tweeted. In India, Children's Day is celebrated on November 14 every year as a mark of respect to Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of independent India.

Nehru was fondly called 'Chacha Nehru' and was known for emphasising on giving love and affection to children. After the death of Nehru, it was unanimously decided to celebrate his birthday as 'Bal Diwas' or Children's Day. He was born on November 14, 1889, in Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj. He breathed his last on May 27, 1964.
