The Directive Principles of State Policy contained in Part IV, Articles 36-51 of the Indian constitution constitute the Directive Principles which may be said to contain the philosophy of the constitution. The idea of directives was borrowed from the constitution of Ireland. As the very term “Directives” indicate, the Directive principles are broad directives given to the state in accordance with which the legislative and executive powers of the state are to be exercised.
As Nehru observed, the governments will ignore the directives “Only at their own peril.” As India seeks to secure an egalitarian society, the founding fathers were not satisfied with only political justice. They sought to combine political justice with economic and social justice.
The Directive Principles may be classified into 3 broad categories—
1.Socialistic
2. Gandhian and
3. Liberal-intellectual.
Gandhian Directives
Such directives are spread over several Arts. Principal among such directives are
1. To organize village panchayats (Art. 40),
2. To secure living wage, decent standard of life, and to promote cottage industries (Art.43),
3. To promote voluntary formation, autonomous functioning, democratic control and professional management of co-operative societies (Art 43 B).
4. To promote the educational and economic interests of SCs, STs, and other weaker sections of the society and to protect them from social injustice and exploitation (Article 46).
5. To prohibit the consumption of intoxicating drinks and drugs which are injurious to health (Article 47).
6. To prohibit the slaughter of cows, claves and other milch and draught cattle and to improve their breeds (Article 48).
