Bangladesh Children’s Day is celebrated annually on March 17th, coinciding with the birthday of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangladesh, to honor his contributions and inspire the younger generation.[1]
History
Bangladesh Children’s Day, celebrated annually on March 17, coincides with the birthday of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangladesh. The day was declared as National Children’s Day after the Awami League came to power in 1996. The decision was made to honor Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s affection for children and his vision for their welfare.[2] Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, popularly known as “Bangabandhu” (Friend of Bengal), was born on March 17, 1920. His birthday is a public holiday in Bangladesh, observed with various activities promoting children’s rights and welfare.[3] Despite the existence of International Children’s Day, Bangladesh did not have a National Children’s Day until this declaration. The day has been celebrated since 1997.[4]
Celebration
17th March is considered a public holiday in Bangladesh by the government of Bangladesh.[5]
