I extend my warm greetings and affectionate wishes to the Children of A&N Islands on the occasion of Children's Day on 14th November, 2023.

Celebrating Children's Day is about giving every child his or her right to grow into a healthy, educated and responsible citizen of the country. It is the utmost duty of every parent, teacher and the society to facilitate all-round development of children so that they can realise their fullest potential.

The achievements of children of these Islands in the field of education, sports and various competitions have been remarkable in the recent years and have made us proud. I take this opportunity to congratulate all the children for their achievements and convey best wishes for future endeavors. A&N Administration is firmly committed to ensure complete nutrition, safety and excellent education of all children so that they can become healthy and responsible citizens of our nation.

On this occasion, I appeal all parents, teachers and the society to work in tandem and nurture children to show them the right path of life through good education and moral values.

Happy Children's Day!
