    Fundamental Duties

    The original Indian constitution did not contain any fundamental duties for citizens. These were later added in 1976 under Part IV-A of the constitution based on recommendations from the Swaran Singh Committee. There were originally 10 fundamental duties inspired by the Soviet Union constitution, and an 11th duty regarding education was added in 2002. Some key features of the fundamental duties are that they are directives to citizens rather than enforceable rights, include both moral and civic obligations, and only apply to citizens not foreigners. Every year on January 3rd is celebrated as Fundamental Duties Day.
