Directive Principles of State Policy

The Directive Principles of State Policy: The writers of the constitution were well aware of the ruined state of the economy and the fragile nature of India’s unity at the time of independence. So they thought they wanted to legislate or make laws on subjects like reservation of seats for the scheduled casts, tribes and women, compulsory education for the children, etc., They know India did not have the resources for it. So they created a set of guidelines which incorporated these ideas. These guidelines were called the directive principles of state policy. Every government which comes to power is expected to be guided by these principles when making policies and laws.
