"Helping children build a bright future is the most satisfying part of my job. #HappyChildrensDay," he said, while sharing the video.

Nehru was born in Prayagraj, then called Allahabad, in 1889 and was one of the leading faces of the country's freedom struggle. His admirers credit him for nurturing democratic roots in the country.

Meanwhile, Assam Police, in a post, tried to sensitise people on the perils of over-sharing of minors' information by parents on online platforms.

"This #ChildrensDay, let's prioritise safety of our little ones. Sharenting -- oversharing your child's life online can have serious consequences," it said.

The police force advocated protection of the children's privacy to ensure a secure childhood.

"Let's create a safer online environment for our future. #DontBeASharent," it added.
