Question
Which statement about the Directive Principles of State
Policy is INCORRECT?Solution
Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP), found in Part IV of the Indian Constitution (Articles 36-51), focus on collective welfare rather than being personal or individualistic. While they aim to ensure social and economic justice and establish a welfare state, they promote the welfare of society as a whole rather than focusing on individual interests. DPSPs guide government policy-making toward economic equality, social justice, and political fairness, particularly for disadvantaged communities.
