Key Points
Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP):
Articles 36-51 of Part-IV of the Indian Constitution deals with Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP).
They are borrowed from the constitution of Ireland.
DPSP’s are non-justiciable and are enforceable in the court of law.
They act as directives to the government to create any law.
They act as the ‘instrument of instructions’.
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar described Directive Principles as a “Novel Feature” of the Constitution.
The Directive Principles are classified on the basis of their ideological source and objectives.
For the sake of making their study convenient, we can broadly place them in four categories,
These are;
Economic and Socialist Principles;
Directives Based on Gandhian Principles;
Directive Principles relating to International Peace; and
Liberal-Intellectual Principles.
