‘Children born on certain dates have higher performing abilites’

NEW DELHI: To mark the 12th anniversary of the Children’s Birthday Centre this coming Monday, Nehru Bal Samiti will organise a special programme at the Bal Vikas Vidyalaya premises in Trilokpuri here.

The Samiti has been organising the annual birthday celebrations of children born on October 2, November 14 and December 25 for the past 12 years.

According to the Samiti, “astrological and astronomical principles suggest children born on these dates are expected to possess higher intellectual and performing abilities.”

“However, the parents and teachers will have to take extra care to see that the children are guided well and kept happy at home and in school environs,” it adds.

Maintain record

The Samiti will from now on also maintain a record of all such students and keep track of their performance in other educational institutions after passing out from the NBS school.
