Woodwork — Key Changes

Entry	Year	Description	Impact
42nd Amendment Act	1976	This amendment inserted Article 51A into the Constitution, which enumerates Fundamental Duties for citizens. Specifically, Article 51A(f) mandates every citizen 'to value and preserve the rich heritage of our composite culture.'	The inclusion of Article 51A(f) provided a constitutional directive for the preservation of cultural heritage, including traditional crafts like woodwork. While not directly altering the craft itself, it laid a foundational principle for state and citizen responsibility towards cultural conservation, influencing subsequent policy formulation and public awareness campaigns related to arts and crafts.
