Explanation

Article 51A of the Constitution of India relates to the Fundamental Duties of citizens. These duties were incorporated into the Constitution via Part IVA by the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976 [3]. Originally, there were ten duties, but an eleventh duty—providing opportunities for education to children aged six to fourteen—was added by the 86th Amendment Act, 2002 [2]. In contrast, the other options belong to different constitutional sections: the Uniform Civil Code is under Article 44 and the organization of village panchayats is under Article 40, both of which are Directive Principles of State Policy (Part IV) [2]. The Right to Education is primarily a Fundamental Right under Article 21A (Part III), although a corresponding duty exists for parents under Article 51A(k) [1].
