The main purpose of the Directive Principle of State Policy listed in Part 4 of the Indian Constitution is to provide economic justice and to avoid the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few people. Therefore, no government can afford to ignore them. They are in fact, the directives to the future governments to incorporate them in the decisions and policies to be formulated by them. These are certain ideals, particularly aiming at socio-economic justice, which according to the framers of the Constitution, the Indian State should strive for.
