During the internal situation, it became clear how important it is for the Indian Constitution to have Fundamental Duties (1975-1977).
The committee suggested that the Constitution include a distinct chapter on Fundamental Duties.
The federal Congress administration embraced these recommendations and in 1976 passed the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act.
With this modification, the Constitution gained a new section called Part IVA, which contains Fundamental Duties.

Additional Information

The Constitution (Forty-second Amendment) Act, 1976, sometimes known as the 42nd Amendment, was passed by the Indian National Congress government led by Indira Gandhi between 25 June 1975 and 21 March 1977.
While some of the amendment's provisions took effect on 1 February and Section 27 on 1 April 1977, the majority of its provisions did so on 3 January 1977.
The 42nd Amendment is thought to be the most divisive constitutional change in history.
