The Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSPs) are a set of guidelines and principles incorporated in Part IV (Articles 36 to 51) of the Constitution of India. They provide directions to the State for establishing a just, equitable, and welfare-oriented society. Although they are not enforceable by any court of law, they are regarded as fundamental in the governance of the country. The Constitution declares that it shall be the duty of the State to apply these principles while making laws and formulating public policies. The Directive Principles reflect the vision of the framers of the Constitution to transform India into a social, economic, and political democracy where justice and equality prevail. The inspiration for the Directive Principles was drawn mainly from the Constitution of Ireland, which itself was influenced by the Spanish Constitution. The framers of the Indian Constitution believed that political democracy could not succeed unless it was accompanied by economic and social democracy. Therefore, they incorporated these principles to guide governments in promoting public welfare, reducing inequalities, and ensuring dignity for all citizens. The Directive Principles are different from Fundamental Rights in several respects. Fundamental Rights, contained in Part III of the Constitution, are legally enforceable, and individuals can approach the courts if these rights are violated. On the other hand, the Directive Principles are non-justiciable, meaning that courts cannot compel the government to implement them. However, they are considered essential for achieving the objectives stated in the Preamble, particularly justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity. Over time, the judiciary has interpreted Fundamental Rights in harmony with the Directive Principles, thereby strengthening the constitutional commitment to welfare and social justice. The Directive Principles may broadly be classified into three categories: Socialist Principles, Gandhian Principles, and Liberal-Intellectual Principles. The Socialist Principles aim to establish social and economic justice. Article 38 directs the State to promote the welfare of the people by
