Which of the following key amendment(s) of the Indian Constitution is/are correctly matched?
1. Addition of new 'Directive Principles of State Policy' such as Art. 39A, 43A and 48A to the original list: 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act
2. Special status to the Union Territory of Delhi and redesignation as the National Capital Territory of Delhi: 79th Constitutional Amendment Act
3. Reservation of one-third of the seats in Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies for women : 108th Constitutional Amendment Act
Answer: A
Only pair 1 is correctly matched.
The 42nd Amendment (1976) added the Directive Principles in Article 39A (equal justice and free legal aid), Article 43A (workers' participation in management) and Article 48A (environment and forests).
The special status of Delhi as the National Capital Territory came with the 69th Amendment (1991), not the 79th. One-third reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies was enacted as the 106th Amendment (2023), the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam; the 108th Amendment Bill of 2008 lapsed.
