“
INTODUCTION
OF DIRECTIVE PRINCIPLE OF STATE POLICY”:

Dr. Ambedkar
said “The directive principles are like instruments of instructions which
were issued to the Governor in General and Governors of colonies and to those of India bythe B
ritish Government under the 1935 Act under the Draft Constitution. It is proposed toissue such
instructions to the president and governors. The text of these instruments of theinstructions sh
all be found in scheduled IV to the Constitution of India. What are calleddirective principles is t
hat they are instructions to the Legislature and the Executive. Such
a thing is, to my mind, to be welcomed.”
The Directive Principles commit the State to promote the welfare of the people by affirm
ing social, economic and political justice, aswell as to fight economic inequality. Accordi
ng to the constitution, the government shouldkeep them in mind while framing laws, ev
en though they are non-
justiciable in nature. Theinspiration of Directive Principles of State Policy has been take
n from the Irish Republic.They were inculcated in our Constitution in order to provide e
conomic justice and also toavoid concentration of wealth in the hands of a few. Therefor
e, no government can affordto ignore them. They are infact, the directives to the future g
overnments to incorporatethem in the decisions and policies to be formulated by them.
The directives were meant to be the fundamental principles which should necessarily b
e made the basis of all executiveand legislative actions that might be taken in future in t
he governance of the country. TheForty-
second Amendment, which came into force in January 1977, attempted to raise thestatu
s of the Directive Principles by stating that no law implementing any of the DirectivePri
nciples

the establishment of a just society in the country. The Directive Principles commit the Stateto p
romote the welfare of the people by affirming social, economic and political justice, aswell as to
fight economic inequality. If directives is not obeyed or implemented by the state,its obedience
or implementation cannot be secured through judicial proceedings. DirectivePrinciples mean th
at they will not be binding on the State; in any case, they would not beenforceable in a court of l
aw. It was the intention of the Constituent Assembly that in future both the legislature and the e
xecutive should not merely pay lip service to these principlesenacted but they should be made t
he basis of all executive and legislative action that may betaken in the matter of governance of t
he country. The Directive Principles commit the State toraise the standard of living and improv
e public health. It should also organize agriculture andanimal husbandry on modern and scienti
fic lines by improving breeds and prohibitingslaughter of cows, calves, and draught cattle. The S
tate must safeguard the environment andwildlife of the country. The Directive Principles exhor
t the state to ensure that citizens havean adequate means of livelihood, that the operation of the
economic system and theownership and control of the material resources of the country subse
rve the common good,that the health of the workers, including children is not abused, and that
special consideration be given to the pregnant women. Thus Directive Principle of State Policy t
hough notenforceable yet is very important for the survival of the soul of objective of our consti
tution.
