Solution

Dear Student,

Directive Principles of State Policy are provision in the Part IV of the Constitution of India. They are meant to be the guidelines for the union and state governments in matters of legislation and policy-making as well as executive and judicial decision-making. The idea has been borrowed from the Irish Constitution and its objective is the achievement of a welfare state.

The efforts made by government to implement the directive principle of state policy are:

i. The state must provide adequate livelihood to all its citizens and must ensure equal pay for equal work to all men and women
ii The state must bring about policy to strengthen the health of workers both men and women and must censure good working conditions
iii. It must also prevent any form of exploitation of workers
iv. It must take necessary steps to prevent child abuse and any form of child exploitation
v. Further, children must be given opportunity to develop in a healthy manner
vi., Also state must bring about and ensure free and compulsory education to children till 14 years of age, which indeed has now become a fundamental right
d. However, there is a large gap between theory and practise, above principles bring non justeiceable in nature have been flouted in reality
e. Women became easy target at the work place and are often paid less, at times they are forced to work under inhuman conditions more so in unorganised sectors which are outside the control of the government
f. The idea of patriarchy is so well entrenched in our Indian society that women face the brunt of it and are discriminated
g. Further, with regard to child abuse , large number of children continue be employed as casual labourers, they are involved in human trafficking
h. Merely framing policies is not enough, it is equally important to bring about their effective implementation
