Socialistic Principles in DPSP

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Include provisions for minimizing income inequalities, ensuring adequate means of livelihood, and providing a decent standard of life. The state is guided to secure the right to work, education, and public assistance in cases of unemployment, old age, and sickness. These principles aim to establish a society free from exploitation, bridging class divides through progressive taxation, land reforms, and empowerment programs. While non-enforceable in court, they have shaped major legislation such as the Minimum Wages Act and various poverty alleviation schemes, reflecting a socialist orientation in India’s policymaking.
