The best things are for the children. That is not only for a single day but for every day. A developed and strong nation is built based on the commitments and investments done today for the children.
There is a day of celebration for children for enhancing awareness and sensitivity among people, with the view of making a better world for the children. However, to build the world for children, commitments and efforts must be made not only on a day but in every moment.
The intention of a government is to pave the way to a better future while protecting the children by successfully facing the various and unexpected challenges emerge in a world that is undergoing rapid changes. Such activities done today will be a motivation to provide necessary strength for the said purpose without descriminating any child and providing them with equal resources and guidance.
I wish a glorious future for the children of the nation.
