💡 Solution & Explanation

Part IV-A of the Indian Constitution contains Article 51A, which outlines the Fundamental Duties of citizens, incorporated upon the recommendations of the Swaran Singh Committee via the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1976. Unlike Fundamental Rights enshrined in Part III which are justiciable, these duties serve as moral obligations for citizens. Other constitutional parts govern distinct domains such as directive principles or panchayati raj institutions.
