ITANAGAR: Arunachal Pradesh Governor Brigadier (Retired) Dr. B D Mishra on Friday appealed to the people of the State to provide all possible opportunities to the children to excel in every field of their chosen activities.

"For our children's better tomorrow let us give our best today, the Governor said in a message on the eve of Childen's Day which commemorates the birth anniversary of the first Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.

While extending his warm greetings to the children, the governor said that nurturing an approach of 'Serve the children before self' is one of the greatest gifts people can give them.

"While renewing our obligation, commitment and responsibilities towards the welfare of our children, we must build a harmonious society, thereby ensuring the proper up-bringing of all children," the Governor said.

"We must ensure that every child studies well, imbibes good values and becomes disciplined, confident, and knowledgeable human being. We must promote amongst our children compassion for the weaker sections of the society and motivate them to contribute towards the nation building," the Governor added in his message.

Chief Minister Pema Khandu also greeted the children and said, "The earth reveals its innocence through the smiles of children. A very warm wish for all the children on this special day. Happy Children's Day!"

He reminded that every kid is special regardless of race, religion and caste.

"Usher them with lots of love and positivity on this Children's Day and make sure to teach them how to be more kind to the world. When a kid smiles, the God smiles upon you – remember this," he observed.

Khandu also paid rich tributes to the first Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, on whose birth anniversary the day is celebrated as Children's Day. Nehru was fondly referred to as 'Chacha Nehru' for his affection for kids.
