Article 37 of the Constitution of India states: “The provisions contained in this Part [Part IV – Directive Principles of State Policy] shall not be enforceable by any court, but the principles therein laid down are nevertheless *fundamental in the governance of the country* and it shall be the duty of the State to apply these principles in making laws.” This article explicitly declares the DPSP as fundamental for governance. While Fundamental Rights are fundamental for individuals against the state, and fundamental duties are duties of citizens, the DPSP are the constitutional directives guiding the state’s policies and laws, making them fundamental for governance.
