The Fundamental Duties are enshrined in Part IV-A of the Indian Constitution under Article 51A. These duties were added by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1976 based on the recommendations of the Swaran Singh Committee. Initially, there were 10 Fundamental Duties, but the 86th Amendment Act of 2002 added an 11th duty, making it compulsory for parents/guardians to provide educational opportunities to their children.
