Q6.
Consider the following provisions under the Directive Principles of State Policy as enshrined in the Constitution of India: 1. Securing for citizens of India a uniform civil code. 2. Organizing village Panchayats. 3. Promoting cottage industries in rural areas. 4. Securing for all the workers reasonable leisure and cultural opportunities. Which of the above are the Gandhian Principles that are reflected in the Directive Principles of State Policy?
Answer
B
Explanation
Gandhian Principles in DPSP include: Organize village panchayats (Art 40), Promote cottage industries in rural areas (Art 43), Prohibition of intoxicating drinks and drugs (Art 47), Preservation of cow and other milch animals (Art 48), etc. Uniform Civil Code (Art 44) is a Liberal-Intellectual principle. Reasonable leisure and cultural opportunities for workers (Art 43) is a Socialist principle, not Gandhian. Hence only 2 and 3 are Gandhian.
