Message to Adults Around The World

One man dreamt a lot about the children of India. This day is a reminder that adults were children once. They were times many children were devoid of good food, nutrition, healthy living conditions and the like.

But today, with a growing Indian economy, it is a duty of parents, educational institutions and the society to ensure that children are brought in the right direction. Their lives are precious and do not destroy these innocent souls through child abuse, trafficking, gender differences and even female infanticide.

Let children enjoy their lives without fear, and boundaries. Instil positivity and freedom of speech and action in them, rather than fear.

Let Chacha Nehru's dream find success in the coming years.
