Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Article 46.
The promotion of educational and economic interests of Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and other weaker sections is covered under Article 46 of the Indian Constitution. Article 46 is part of the Directive Principles of State Policy, which guides the government in framing policies for social and economic justice. It directs the state to promote the educational and economic interests of marginalised communities and protect them from social injustice and exploitation. While not enforceable by courts, this article forms a crucial framework for affirmative action, welfare schemes, and policies aimed at uplifting disadvantaged sections of society.
