Which of the following statements is/are true regarding the 97th Amendment to the Constitution?
A
It made the right to form Self Help Group as a Fundamental Right
B
It has brought a new provision into the Part IV of the Constitution (Directive Principle of State Policy)
C
Both are wrong
D
Both are right
Correct Option:
B
Explanation
The 97th Constitutional Amendment concerned co-operative societies, not Self Help Groups. It added the right to form co-operative societies to Article 19(1)(c) and inserted Article 43B in Part IV as a Directive Principle relating to promotion of co-operative societies. Therefore, the first substantive statement is false and the second is true.
