Fundamental duties of every citizen towards there country

Article 51A of the Constitution of India specifies fundamental duties of every citizen.

It is the duty of every citizen of India: to cherish and follow the noble ideals which inspired the national struggle for freedom; to uphold and protect the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India; to value and preserve the rich heritage of the composite culture; to protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers and wild life, and to have compassion for living creatures; and to strive towards excellence in all spheres of individual and collective activity so that the nation constantly rises to higher levels of endeavor and achievement.

1. One struggle for freedom of mankind is to struggle to be free from polluted environment and to have good quality environment is the integrity of the nation. As a matter of fact, the Constitution tasks each and every citizen of India to nurture the noble ideals and integrity of India. Additionally, India has a rich heritage of culture with respect to living peacefully with the natural surrounding and to enriching the forests, which must be carried on in order to improve the conditions of the Indian environment.

2. As is obviously seen that Article 51A directly tasks the citizens of India to protect and improve natural environment and to have compassion for living creatures, this responsibility of the people needs no explanation since it is clear and settle in itself. The protection of environment then is supported by the strive towards excellence in all spheres of individual and collective activity to raise the country to achieve the stage of being an environmentally clean nation.
