Which of the following statements is INCORRECT about the Directive Principles of State Policy?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. They promote welfare of individuals. Hence, they are personal and individualistic.
Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) are not personal or individualistic—they are collective welfare goals (e.g., equitable wealth distribution, education for all) under Article 36-51. Unlike Fundamental Rights, DPSPs lack judicial enforcement but guide governance. The other statements are correct:
-
They have moral/political sanctions (not legal).
-
They advance social-economic democracy (e.g., fair wages, health care).
-
They are positive obligations (State must strive to fulfill them).
