Introduction
Unlike Fundamental Rights, the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) are non-justiciable which means they are not enforceable by the courts for their violation. However, the Constitution itself declares that ‘these principles are fundamental in the governance of the country and it shall be the duty of the state to apply these principles in making laws’. Hence, they impose a moral obligation on the state authorities for their application.

The Constitution of India laid down certain Directive Principles of State Policy which are fundamental in the governance of the nation. It is the duty of each Indian State to apply these principles while making laws as these constitute a very comprehensive social, economic and political programme for a modern welfare state.
These principles emphasise that the State shall try to promote the welfare of people by providing them basic facilities like shelter, food and clothing.
