Which of the following Fundamental Duties was added in the Constitution by the 86th Constitution Amendment Act, 2002?
To provide opportunities for education to a child or ward between ages six and fourteen
The 86th Constitution Amendment Act, 2002 inserted Article 21A, making free and compulsory education a Fundamental Right for children aged six to fourteen years.
The same amendment added a new clause, Article 51A(k), to the list of Fundamental Duties under Part IVA, requiring every parent or guardian to provide opportunities for education to their child or ward between the ages of six and fourteen years.
The other listed duties, such as protecting the environment, developing scientific temper, and preserving composite culture, were already part of the original set of Fundamental Duties inserted by the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976.
Hence, the duty added by the 86th Amendment is to provide opportunities for education to a child or ward between ages six and fourteen.
