    कुमारो रमणीयो वै सदैव प्रियदaर्शनीयः।

    शिशोः स्पर्शः सुखं दद्यात् सर्वेषां हृदयान्वितम्॥


    A child is always charming and delightful to behold. The touch of a child brings joy and warmth to the hearts of everyone.

    World Children’s Day, observed on November 20th, is a day dedicated to promoting children's welfare and advocating for their rights worldwide. It is a significant day in the history of child rights and development.


    The slogan for World Children’s Day 2025 is “My Day, My Rights.” The theme conveys the message that children’s daily lives, their experiences, and their voices must be respected. It highlights the importance of actively listening to children, understanding their feelings, and ensuring their meaningful participation in decisions that affect them.


    1. Historical Significance

    - 1954: The United Nations established **Universal Children's Day to encourage all countries to institute a day to promote mutual understanding among children and initiate action to benefit and uplift their well-being.

    - November 20, 1959: On this day, the **Declaration of the Rights of the Child was adopted by the UN General Assembly.

    - November 20, 1989: Thirty years later, the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) was adopted. This treaty is the most widely ratified human rights treaty globally and remains a cornerstone of child rights advocacy.

    What do you think is the biggest challenge children face today?

    World Philosophy Day

    World Philosophy Day

    Special Audio

    World Philosophy Day, observed annually on the third Thursday of November, falls on November 21, 2025. This UNESCO-designated event is an opportunity to honor philosophy’s enduring legacy and its role in shaping human thought, culture, and society.


    Philosophy, derived from the Greek words

    Philosophy, derived from the Greek words "philo" (love) and "sophia" (wisdom), is the foundation of critical thinking and intellectual inquiry. World Philosophy Day invites individuals, scholars, and communities worldwide to reflect on life’s profound questions and embrace the power of reasoning to address contemporary challenges.

    The Origins and Purpose of World Philosophy Day

    UNESCO first established World Philosophy Day in 2002 to highlight the enduring value of philosophy for human progress. Philosophy, as a discipline, enables critical dialogue about values, ethics, and our collective future, making it essential in addressing global issues like inequality, climate change, and peacebuilding.


    The observance aims to:

    - Promote philosophical analysis and critical discussion of current issues.

    - Encourage intergenerational and intercultural dialogue.

    - Reinforce the importance of teaching philosophy to foster open-mindedness and intellectual curiosity.

    Philosophy encourages questions such as:

    - What are our ethical duties to future generations?

    - How can we balance individual freedoms with communal well-being?

    - What philosophical insights can guide sustainable development and global cooperation?


    Why Philosophy Matters Today

    In an increasingly polarized and complex world, philosophy is more relevant than ever:

    1. Critical Thinking: It equips individuals to question assumptions, analyze arguments, and make informed decisions.

    2. Ethical Guidance: Philosophy provides frameworks to address moral dilemmas, from bioethics to environmental stewardship.

    3. Global Understanding: Philosophical inquiry fosters respect for diverse perspectives, promoting peace and understanding.

    4. Personal Growth: Engaging with philosophy encourages introspection, helping individuals lead meaningful lives.

    Hamro Patro - Connecting Nepali Communities
    Hamro Patro is one of the first Nepali app to include Nepali Patro, launched in 2010. We started with a Nepali Calendar mobile app to help Nepalese living abroad stay in touch with Nepalese festivals and important dates in Nepali calendar year. Later on, to cater to the people who couldn’t type in Nepali using fonts like Preeti, Ganesh and even Nepali Unicode, we built nepali mobile keyboard called Hamro Nepali keyboard.
