Calling for stories, videos and ideas on the 11 Fundamental Duties!

Commemorating the 70th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of India this year on 26th November, 2019 , the Government of India launched a campaign focusing on creating awareness on the Fundamental Duties that are enshrined in Chapter IV-A (Article 51A) of the Indian Constitution throughout the country.

Fundamental Duties impart directions of citizenship behaviour on the part of all concerned. The onus of implementation of Fundamental Duties is on every citizen. Though not legally enforceable, they have an inherent element of compulsion regarding compliance because what is duty for one is another person’s right.

By practicing and thus reinforcing these Fundamental Duties, we, as common citizens, can play a positive and effective role in fulfilling our duties towards our country and fellow citizens and will also ensure that India occupies a rightful place in the comity of nations.

MyGov in collaboration with Department of Justice invites you to share your stories, videos or ideas on the 11 Fundamental Duties.
• to abide by the Constitution and respect its ideals and institutions, the National Flag and the National Anthem
• to cherish and follow the noble ideals which inspired our national struggle for freedom
• to uphold and protect the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India
• to defend the country and render national service when called upon to do so
• to promote harmony and the spirit of common brotherhood amongst all the people of India transcending religious, linguistic and regional or sectional diversities; to renounce practices derogatory to the dignity of women
• to value and preserve the rich heritage of our composite culture
• to protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers and wildlife, and to have compassion for living creatures
• to develop the scientific temper, humanism and the spirit of inquiry and reform
• to safeguard public property and to abjure violence
• to strive towards excellence in all spheres of individual and collective activity so that the nation constantly rises to higher levels of endeavour and achievement
• who is a parent or guardian to provide opportunities for education to his child or, as the case may be, ward between the age of six and fourteen years.

Highlight the discrepancy on implementation of certain government policies which is beneficial to common people or meeting government initiative such as vocal for local. One such thing i experienced is china parts taxation gap. No MRP pasted on importing goods and proper duty not paid. With proof, i coverd one video and escalated to Government twitter accounts.

##Learning the real story of freedom fighters is our fundamental duty Gandhi’s lathi on display But none was more famous than this simple bamboo cane that accompanied the Mahatma on his historic Dandi March. The lathi was taken to the National Gandhi Museum and Library at Rajghat in New Delhi, where it can still be seen on display, along with other lathis that the Mahatma had used. It is a simple piece of cane that became the unlikely symbol of the Salt Satyagraha. And of Bapu himself.

##Learning the real story of freedom fighters is our fundamental duty As it turned out, this was the very cane that Kalelkar would later hand over to Gandhi to assist him on his famous Dandi March. It remained in the Mahatma’s possession till his death.

##Learning the real story of freedom fighters is our fundamental duty We spent only a day together but into these few hours we crowded the reminisces of a lifetime. Oh, the intensity of his affection and the depth of his devotion to literature.” Pai was so moved on meeting his friend that when they said their goodbyes, he took out a walking stick that had been used by his grandfather and gifted it to Kalelkar.

##Learning the real story of freedom fighters is our fundamental duty During one of his many nation-wide tours in the late 1920s, Kalelkar was in Mangalore and decided to make a detour to Manjeshwar to visit his old friend. It had been a while since they had met and on seeing his friend, Pai was overwhelmed.
