Q. Consider the following provisions:

1. Free Legal Aid
2. Adequate means to livelihood
3. Free and Compulsory Education to children under the age of 14
4. Prohibition of slaughter of cows and calves

Which of the above were part of the Original Constitution of India?
Answer: 2, 3 & 4 only
Notes: Free Legal Aid (Article 39A) was introduced by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976, and thus was not in the original Constitution. Adequate means to livelihood (Article 39), Free and Compulsory Education to children under 14 (Article 45), and Prohibition of slaughter of cows and calves (Article 48) were included in the original Constitution of India (1950).
