Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the Chairman of the Drafting Committee of the Indian Constitution, described the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) as a ‘novel feature’ of the Indian Constitution in the Constituent Assembly.

– Directive Principles of State Policy (Part IV of the Constitution) are guidelines for the state to be kept in mind while framing laws and policies.
– They are non-justiciable, meaning they cannot be enforced by courts.
– Ambedkar saw them as a unique and significant aspect of the Indian Constitution, aiming at the establishment of a welfare state.

The DPSPs were inspired by the Constitution of Ireland. While non-justiciable, they are considered fundamental in the governance of the country and it shall be the duty of the State to apply these principles in making laws (Article 37).
