Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Part IV-A of the Constitution of India specifically deals with Fundamental Duties. This part was not included in the original Constitution but was inserted by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act in 1976, following the recommendations of the Swaran Singh Committee [1]. It consists of a single article, Article 51A, which initially listed ten duties for citizens, later increased to eleven by the 86th Amendment Act in 2002 [1]. These duties are moral obligations intended to promote patriotism and uphold the unity and integrity of India [1]. While Fundamental Rights (Part III) and Directive Principles (Part IV) were original features, Part IV-A was added to remind citizens of their responsibilities alongside their rights. In contrast, provisions regarding Public Service Commissions are found in Part XIV, and State Government functioning is covered in Part VI.
