The Fundamental Duties inserted by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment came into force on which date?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
C. 3 January 1977C. 3 जनवरी 1977
Explanationव्याख्या
The Fundamental Duties introduced through the 42nd Constitutional Amendment were brought into operation on 3 January 1977.
The amendment itself was enacted in 1976 and introduced Part IVA containing Article 51A.
A common examination trap is to confuse the year in the title of the Constitutional Amendment with the date on which the relevant provisions became operational.
The constitutional change is therefore remembered as the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976, while the Fundamental Duties came into force in January 1977.
Originally, Article 51A contained ten duties.
Much later, the 86th Constitutional Amendment Act, 2002 added the eleventh duty concerning educational opportunities for children aged six to fourteen years.
Remembering the chronology—1976 amendment, 3 January 1977 commencement, and 2002 addition of the eleventh duty—helps distinguish closely related questions.
42वें संविधान संशोधन द्वारा जोड़े गए मूल कर्तव्य 3 जनवरी 1977 से लागू हुए। संबंधित संविधान संशोधन 1976 में पारित किया गया था और इसी के माध्यम से भाग IVA तथा अनुच्छेद 51A को संविधान में शामिल किया गया। प्रतियोगी परीक्षाओं में अक्सर संशोधन के वर्ष और उसके प्रावधानों के लागू होने की तिथि के बीच भ्रम उत्पन्न किया जाता है। इसलिए 42वां संविधान संशोधन अधिनियम, 1976 और मूल कर्तव्यों के लागू होने की तिथि 3 जनवरी 1977 को अलग-अलग याद रखना चाहिए। प्रारंभ में अनुच्छेद 51A में दस मूल कर्तव्य थे। बाद में 86वें संविधान संशोधन अधिनियम, 2002 द्वारा छह से चौदह वर्ष के बच्चों को शिक्षा के अवसर उपलब्ध कराने से संबंधित ग्यारहवां मूल कर्तव्य जोड़ा गया।
