However, Article 51A (Fundamental Duties) was added by the 42nd Amendment in 1976 and includes duties that are rooted in self-awareness, such as the duty to develop scientific temper and spirit of inquiry. The 44th Amendment (1978) modified some fundamental rights and duties, but did not directly address self-awareness.The inclusion of Fundamental Duties in Article 51A established a constitutional basis for the development of qualities like scientific temper and inquiry, which are manifestations of self-awareness. This has influenced how civil service training and governance are conceptualized.
