Based on its recommendations, the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976, was enacted, which incorporated Part IV-A (Article 51A) into the Constitution, detailing the Fundamental Duties of citizens.
Fundamental Duties are contained in Part IV-A of the Constitution under Article 51A, originally recommended by the Swaran Singh Committee.
The 42nd Amendment Act of 1976 added 10 Fundamental Duties to the Constitution.
The 11th Fundamental Duty was added later by the 86th Constitutional Amendment Act, 2002.
Fundamental Duties are non-justiciable in nature, meaning they are not directly enforceable by the courts.
The concept of Fundamental Duties was inspired by the Constitution of the erstwhile USSR.
The committee suggested 8 duties, but the government incorporated 10 duties in the 42nd Amendment.
The 11th duty (providing education opportunities to children between 6-14 years) was added by the 86th Amendment Act, 2002.
Morarji Desai served as the first non-Congress Prime Minister of India, heading the Janata Party government in 1977.
Jayaprakash Narayan was a prominent activist and leader of the Total Revolution movement, not a Prime Minister.
B is correct тАФ The Swaran Singh Committee was appointed by the Indira Gandhi government in 1976 to suggest constitutional reforms.
When studying Fundamental Duties, always contrast them with Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP); while DPSPs are instructions to the State, Fundamental Duties are responsibilities of the citizens.
