KEY POINTS
· The Constitution of India, originally, did not contain the aspect of fundamental duties for citizens.
· However, during discussions on the draft Constitution and fundamental rights therein, in the constituent assembly, few members had raised their voices in favour of citizens’ duties towards the nation.
· At a time when New India has set high targets for leading the 21st century, combating climate change is crucial in the country’s journey towards becoming a $5 trillion-strong economy in a time-bound manner.
· Invariably, it also brings responsibility on ourselves to act dutifully towards adopting a lifestyle that helps the nation to move ahead for achieving these targets.
· In practice, everywhere schools, homes, workplaces, or at the courts “rights” have taken up more space then “duties”, when actually they are the two sides of the same coin.
· Citizens need to fulfil their duties and obey laws too. For instance, citizens have the right to get better roads, infrastructure and better traveling facilities.
· But following traffic rules is their duty. Having basic household amenities like electricity and clean tap water are citizens’ rights.
· However, it is their duty to end practices that lead to the wastage of electricity and water. It is the citizen’s right to get clean streets, but it is the individual’s duty to stop throwing garbage on roads, and put trash into the right bins or dispose it in a proper manner.
· Unless we promote the culture of duty and responsibility, the aims and objectives enshrined in the Preamble, and under Article 51A of the Constitution, cannot be truly achieved in letter and spirit.
