History
It is firmly believed by the United Nations that the family and their behavior play a vital in carving the overall personality of a child. This is the very reason why on a global scale, on the 17th of September, 2012, the UN General Assembly made a resolution 66/292 to pass where it was decided that the Global Parents Day will be celebrated on the 1st of June.
In the year 1994, then-President Bill Clinton of the United States signed a law where a resolution was adopted where it was established by the US Congress that the fourth Sunday of the July month will be celebrated as the Parent’s Day.
This day holds the same importance as Father’s Day and Mother’s Day. In the resolution of the Congressional, it has been well established that the whole motive of finalizing a date for Parents Day is to ‘recognize, uplift and support the role of parents in the rearing of children.
In other countries such as South Korea, Parents Day is celebrated on the 8th of May of every year.

On this day every year, the nations identify all of the parents and follow up by celebrating their teamwork in the process of the upbringing of the children. In the meantime, the nation also ensures that the roles of parents are well supported by the nation so that a strong, stable, and rigid society is built. Several community leaders across the nation ensure organizing events on the Parent’s Day.
To honor all the parents of the nation, the Committee of local Parents’ Day comprises teachers, ministers, students, and volunteers who collectively organize events. Ever since 1994, these local communities have made sure that they host the annual Parent’s Day programs and collect nominations and acknowledge the incredible parents by offering them awards for their outstanding parenting skills.
