- These duties were intended to serve as a constant reminder to every citizen that while enjoying their rights, they also have a duty to observe certain basic norms of democratic conduct and behavior.
- The recommendations of the Swaran Singh Committee were incorporated into the Indian Constitution by the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976.
Additional Information
- The fundamental duties are enshrined in Part IV-A of the Constitution of India under Article 51A.
- Initially, ten fundamental duties were added, but later an eleventh duty was added by the 86th Amendment Act, 2002.
