Which of the following committees had recommended the inclusion of a chapter on the Fundamental Duties in the Constitution of India and stressed that the citizens should become conscious that, in addition to the enjoyment of rights, they also have certain duties to perform?

The correct option is Swaran Singh Committee (1976).

Explanation:

In 1976, the Congress Party set up the Sardar Swaran Singh Committee to make recommendations about fundamental duties, the need and necessity of which was felt during the operation of the internal emergency (1975–1977).

The committee recommended the inclusion of a separate chapter on Fundamental Duties in the Constitution. It stressed that citizens should become conscious that, in addition to the enjoyment of rights, they also have certain duties to perform.

Accepting these recommendations, the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976, incorporated a new Part IV-A and Article 51A into the Constitution of India, introducing 10 Fundamental Duties (later increased to 11 by the 86th Amendment Act in 2002).
