Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 86th Amendment 2002.

  • The 11th Fundamental Duty was added by the 86th Amendment in 2002.
  • The 11th fundamental duty is to provide opportunities for education to their child or ward between the age of six and fourteen years and as parents it is their duty to ensure that such opportunities are provided to their child.
  • This amendment also elevated the Right to Education to the status of a Fundamental Right, by adding Article 21A to Part III of the Constitution.
  • The 42nd Amendment Act of 1976 added ten Fundamental Duties to the Indian Constitution, following the recommendations of the Swaran Singh Committee, which was set up in 1976 after they were deemed necessary amid the internal problems of 1975-1977.
  • These duties are enshrined in Article 51A of Part IV-A of the Constitution.
