Calling for stories, videos and ideas on the 11 Fundamental Duties!

Commemorating the 70th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of India this year on 26th November, 2019 , the Government of India launched a campaign focusing on creating awareness on the Fundamental Duties that are enshrined in Chapter IV-A (Article 51A) of the Indian Constitution throughout the country.

Fundamental Duties impart directions of citizenship behaviour on the part of all concerned. The onus of implementation of Fundamental Duties is on every citizen. Though not legally enforceable, they have an inherent element of compulsion regarding compliance because what is duty for one is another person’s right.

By practicing and thus reinforcing these Fundamental Duties, we, as common citizens, can play a positive and effective role in fulfilling our duties towards our country and fellow citizens and will also ensure that India occupies a rightful place in the comity of nations.

MyGov in collaboration with Department of Justice invites you to share your stories, videos or ideas on the 11 Fundamental Duties.
• to abide by the Constitution and respect its ideals and institutions, the National Flag and the National Anthem
• to cherish and follow the noble ideals which inspired our national struggle for freedom
• to uphold and protect the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India
• to defend the country and render national service when called upon to do so
• to promote harmony and the spirit of common brotherhood amongst all the people of India transcending religious, linguistic and regional or sectional diversities; to renounce practices derogatory to the dignity of women
• to value and preserve the rich heritage of our composite culture
• to protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers and wildlife, and to have compassion for living creatures
• to develop the scientific temper, humanism and the spirit of inquiry and reform
• to safeguard public property and to abjure violence
• to strive towards excellence in all spheres of individual and collective activity so that the nation constantly rises to higher levels of endeavour and achievement
• who is a parent or guardian to provide opportunities for education to his child or, as the case may be, ward between the age of six and fourteen years.

You'll need to source the best fabric available as well as a non-woven interface to filter particles (on the fly, you may be able to use coffee filters or even purchase pre-made filters on Amazon). You'll also need elastics or ties to secure to the face and a metal piece to snugly fit it around your nose.

Lighter materials like t-shirts can sufficiently cover your face, but be aware: It's a knit material, research explains, so using a covering fashioned from a t-shirt could cause the material to stretch, which may result in visible holes since knits are designed to pull apart by nature.

A heavier cotton woven fabric such as denim works well to catch particles as well, but you may find it harder to breathe through

When making no-sew options at home, however, Sachs recommends that you use tightly woven 100% cotton fabric. You can use items like bed sheets, woven shirts, curtains, or even bandanas (a very common option) to make masks.

Medical masks available to consumers aren't designed to be used more than once, so in the long run, you'd be better off securing cloth-based masks or coverings instead.

The same rules do not apply to surgical-grade medical masks. While healthcare professionals across the nation have been forced to reuse N95 respirators and medical masks due to low supplies, they're highly trained in best practices to keep risk of cross contamination low, disinfecting them after each shift

You shouldn't use a cloth face mask again unless it has been laundered since it was first worn, as it can accumulate germs on both its exterior and interior surfaces while in use out of your home.

Can I reuse my face mask? If you've purchased or made a cloth-based face mask or covering, you can launder it regularly in your home. You should use it as long as its elasticity is intact, allowing you to keep the cloth tucked securely around your nose, cheeks, and chin.
