    Fundamental Duties are responsibilities of citizens outlined in India's constitution inspired by Russia's constitution. There are originally 10 duties but an 11th was added, all listed in Article 51-A, reminding citizens that while enjoying rights they must also be conscious of their duties to country, society, and fellow citizens. However, like Directive Principles, the duties are non-justiciable and cannot be enforced in a court of law.

    Fundamental Duties

    What you ought to do!!!


    Fundamental Duties
    • The idea of Fundamental Duties is inspired from the Constitution of
    Russia.
    • These were incorporated in Part IV-A of the Constitution by the 42nd
    Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976 on the recommendations of Swaran
    Singh Committee.
    • Originally 10 in number, one more duty was added through the 86th
    Constitutional Amendment Act, 2002. All the eleven duties are listed in
    Article 51-A of the Constitution (the sole Article in Part-IV-A).
    • The fundamental duties serve as a reminder to citizens that while enjoying
    their rights, they have also to be quite conscious of duties they owe to
    their country, their society and to their fellow-citizens.
    • However, like the Directive Principles, the duties are also non-justiciable in
    nature.
