Detailed Solution & Logic
Indira Gandhi/ इंंदिरा गांधी
📘 Explanation / व्याख्या:
The Swaran Singh Committee was set up in 1976 by the Prime Minister Indira Gandhi during the period of Emergency (1975–77). The committee was formed to review the Constitution and suggest changes.
One of its most important recommendations was the inclusion of Fundamental Duties in the Constitution. Based on this recommendation, the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976 added Part IVA (Article 51A) to the Indian Constitution, which contains the Fundamental Duties of citizens.
स्वर्ण सिंह समिति की स्थापना वर्ष 1976 में प्रधानमंत्री इंदिरा गांधी द्वारा आपातकाल (1975–77) के दौरान की गई थी। इस समिति का उद्देश्य संविधान की समीक्षा कर उसमें आवश्यक संशोधन सुझाना था।
समिति की सबसे महत्वपूर्ण अनुशंसा थी कि संविधान में मौलिक कर्तव्यों को शामिल किया जाए। इसके आधार पर 42वाँ संविधान संशोधन अधिनियम, 1976 द्वारा संविधान में भाग IVA (अनुच्छेद 51A) जोड़ा गया, जिसमें नागरिकों के मौलिक कर्तव्य दिए गए हैं।
