Q57 (CISF/2018) Polity & Governance › Fundamental Rights, DPSP & Fundamental Duties

Which one of the following Committees has recommended the inclusion of Fundamental Duties in the Constitution under the 42nd Amendment Act of 1976 ?

Explanation

The Fundamental Duties of citizens were incorporated into the Indian Constitution by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976. This amendment added a new part, Part IV-A, consisting of Article 51A.

These duties were included based on the recommendations of the Swaran Singh Committee, which was appointed by the Congress government in 1976. The committee suggested that steps should be taken to ensure that the individual did not overlook his duties while in exercise of his fundamental rights. Although the committee recommended the inclusion of eight fundamental duties, the 42nd Amendment Act included ten. Later, an 11th fundamental duty was added by the 86th Constitutional Amendment Act, 2002.
