Answer 1

The correct option is C Swarna Singh Committee

The committee on constitutional amendments by the President of the Indian National Congress, popularly known as the Swaran Singh committee from the name of the chairman, is reported to have felt that a chapter on fundamental duties for the citizen should be included along with the existing fundamental rights in the constitution. The Fundamental Duties of citizens were added to the Constitution by the 42nd Amendment in 1976, upon the recommendations of the Swaran Singh Committee that was constituted by the government earlier that year.
