Article 51A, which constitutes Part IV A of the Constitution of India, lists the Fundamental Duties of citizens. These duties were not originally part of the Constitution but were added by the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976, based on the recommendations of the Swaran Singh Committee.

Part III of the Constitution deals with Fundamental Rights (Articles 12-35). Part IV deals with Directive Principles of State Policy (Articles 36-51). Part IV A deals specifically with Fundamental Duties.

There are currently eleven Fundamental Duties listed under Article 51A. They include duties like abiding by the Constitution, respecting the National Flag and National Anthem, protecting the sovereignty and integrity of India, promoting harmony, protecting the environment, and developing a scientific temper. Unlike Fundamental Rights, Fundamental Duties are not directly enforceable by courts.
