Directive Principles are guidelines outlined in the Constitution of India to promote social and economic justice. They aim to ensure that the government works towards the welfare of its citizens by providing a framework for creating a just society. These principles are not legally enforceable but serve as a guiding philosophy for policy-making. The Directive Principles cover various aspects, including the right to work, education, and public assistance in cases of unemployment, old age, and sickness. They encourage the state to promote the welfare of the people and strive for a more equitable distribution of resources, ultimately aiming for a better quality of life for all citizens.
