Which of the following constitutional amendment added fundamental duties in Indian Constitution ?
Answer: A
Fundamental duties were added by The 42nd Amendment Act of 1976.
On the recommendation of the Swaran Singh Committee, the 42nd Amendment inserted Part IVA, with Article 51A, listing ten fundamental duties of citizens. An eleventh duty, on providing opportunities for education to children aged six to fourteen, was added by the 86th Amendment in 2002.
The 43rd and 44th Amendments were passed by the Janata government in 1977 and 1978 to undo parts of the 42nd, and the 45th Amendment (1980) extended reservation of seats for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. None of them added duties, and the years printed with them in options B and C do not match.
