Indian schoolchildren, some of them dressed up as India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru (top 3rd L), Indian queen warrior Lakshmibai, the Rani of Jhansi (top 3rd R), Mangal Pandey Subhas (bottom 2nd L), Mahatma Gandhi (C), and Chandra Bose (2nd R) pose during a fancy dress competition for Children's Day celebrations at a school in Amritsar, India's northwestern state of Punjab, on November 14, 2014. The celebration of Children's Day falls on November 14, coinciding with the birth anniversary of India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru. Despite a ban on children's labour imposed under the 1986 Child Labour Prohibition and Regulation Act which took effect 10 October, millions of Indian children still have to work for a living to support their families, missing out on primary education.
