September Activity – Week 1 & 2 – Information Handout for Students

Introduction 

Now-a-days, terms like ‘right to education’, ‘right to information’ and ‘right to protest peacefully’ are being used quite frequently. Many a time, you may also feel that you have certain rights. Simultaneously, you may have been told by someone, maybe your teacher, that you have certain duties towards other individuals, the society, the nation or humanity. But do you think that every human being enjoys their rights, or performs their duties? Perhaps not.

But everyone will agree that there are certain rights that must be enjoyed by individuals. Particularly in a democratic country like ours, there are rights that must be guaranteed to every citizen. Similarly, there are certain duties that must be performed by democratic citizens. Which is why, the Constitution of India guarantees some rights to its citizens. They are known as Fundamental Rights. Besides these rights, the Indian Constitution also enlists certain core duties that every citizen is expected to perform. These are known as Fundamental Duties. This session aims to discuss the Fundamental Rights and Fundamental Duties in detail.
