Children’s Day is observed on 14th November as the date marks the birth anniversary of legendary freedom fighter and India’s first Prime Minister – Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. As a tribute to Nehru and his love for children, Children’s Day is celebrated on his birth date.

School bags and stationeries were gifted by BLP to all the children. Dr (Ms) S M Bhat, Senior Medical Officer from Acworth Municipal Hospital for Leprosy distributed the gifts. Dr V.V.
