Correct Answer - Option 2 : I and II

The correct answer is I and II.

  • Directive Principles in Part-IV of the Constitution of India:
    • Part-IV of the constitution deals with “directive principles of state policy”.
    • They are positive rights and impose positive obligations on the state.
  • Equal Pay for Equal Work:
  • The Indian Constitution recognized the principle of 'Equal Pay for Equal Work' for both men and women, and 'Right to Work' through Article 39(d) and 41.
  • Uniform Civil Code:
    • Article 44 of the Indian Constitution states that “the State shall endeavour to secure for the citizens a uniform civil code (UCC) throughout the territory of India.
    • The desirability of a uniform civil code is consistent with human rights and the principles of equality, fairness and justice. Hence statement 1 and 2 are only correct.

  • DPSP:
    • The Directive Principles constitute a very comprehensive social, economic and political programme for a modern and welfare state. 
    • These principles emphasise that the State shall try to promote the welfare of people by providing them basic facilities like shelter, food and clothing.
    • Unlike Fundamental Rights, the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) are non-binding in nature which means they are not enforceable by the courts for their violation.
    • However, the Constitution itself declares that ‘these principles are fundamental in the governance of the country and it shall be the duty of the state to apply these principles in making laws.
    • Hence, they impose a moral obligation on the state authorities for their implementation.
    • It denotes the ideals that the State should keep in mind while formulating policies and enacting laws.
