The Directive Principles are a social, economic, and political agenda for a contemporary and welfare state that is quite comprehensive.

These ideas emphasise the importance of the state attempting to enhance people's wellbeing by providing them with basic necessities like as shelter, food, and clothing.

The Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP), unlike Fundamental Rights, are non-binding, which means they cannot be enforced by the courts if they are violated.

The Constitution, on the other hand, states that "these principles are important in the government of the country, and it shall be the responsibility of the state to apply these principles in drafting legislation." As a result, they put a moral obligation on state officials to carry them out.
