What to Focus On

  • DPSP are in Part IV of the Constitution (Articles 36–51).
  • They are non-justiciable, meaning they cannot be enforced in court.
  • They guide the government in making laws for public welfare.
  • Three main categories: Socialist, Gandhian, and Liberal-Intellectual.
  • Socialist Principles aim at economic equality.
  • Gandhian Principles promote village self-governance and cottage industries.
  • Focus on economic equality and social welfare.
  • Ensure right to work, education, and public assistance.
  • Promote living wages and humane working conditions.
