The concept of a 'Welfare State' finds prominent mention in which part of the Indian Constitution?

A. Preamble
B. Fundamental Rights
C. Directive Principles of State Policy✓ Correct Answer
D. Seventh Schedule

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Directive Principles of State Policy enshrined in Part IV of the Indian Constitution embody the establishment of a Welfare State by directing the government to secure social, economic, and political justice. Unlike Fundamental Rights which guarantee political democracy, DPSP aims at socio-economic democracy. These principles are non-justiciable in nature and were borrowed from the Irish Constitution of 1937.
