Which of the following Articles of the Indian Constitution are concerned with the protection of environment and wildlife?
Article 48A
Article 48A (a Directive Principle) directs the State to protect and improve the environment and to safeguard the forests and wildlife of the country.
It was added by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976, which also added Article 51A(g) — the fundamental duty to protect the natural environment.
Articles 38A, 41A and 42A do not exist with this content (Article 41 deals with right to work, education and public assistance; Article 42 with just and humane conditions of work and maternity relief).
Hence, Article 48A.
