Bahrain , 29 Oct 2012: Children’s day as we all know is a day dedicated to children, which is 14 November and is celebrated on the birthday of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India. He had great concern and lifelong passion for the welfare of children. He worked for the education and development of children and young people. Children remember him as Chacha Nehru. Bellevision Bahrain celebrated children’s day on 26th October 2012 at South Park, Gudabiya, in anticipation of November 14 as the Eid holidays gave the best opportunity for the Bellevision Bahrain to celebrate this day.
