Directive Principles of State Policies. Indian Constitution and Politics.


Directive principles of state policies (DPSP) are the ideals to protect individual rights in India. Article 36 to 51 under part IV of the Indian Constitution talks about Directive principles of state policies. This concept was borrowed from Irish Constitution. It also influenced by Gandhian Principles.it was commenced by Government Act of 1935.

Directive principles are fundemental for the governance of the country. They are basically a code of conduct for legislature and administrators of the country. The Directive principles are broadly classified in to three. They are

* Socialistic Principles
* Gandhian Principles
* Liberal and intellectual Principles

Some of the principles are;

1. Securing Welfare of the people.
2. Equal justice and free legal aid
3. Organisation of village Panchayat.
4. Right to work and education.
5. Provision for just and human conditions and maternity relief.
6. Promotion of educational and economic intrest of Sheduled Caste(SC) and Sheduled Tribe(ST) 
7.Protection of environment and safeguard forest and wildlife.
8.Protection of places and monuments of national importance.
