DIRECTIVE PRINCIPLES

Dr BR Ambedkar described the DPSPs as a ‘novel feature of the Constitution’. DPSP are constitutional instructions or guidelines to state in the legislative, executive and administrative affairs. It provides the social and economic base of a genuine democracy. Granville-Austin has described the “FR and DPSP as conscience of the Constitution”.
The purpose of directive principles of state policy is to lay down positive instructions which would guide state policy at all levels.
