According to Dr. A.C. Kapoor, “These Directive Principles are intended to lie down in general terms the objects which the framers of the Constitution desired that the Government of the Centre and the States should pursue in guiding the destiny of the nation. They are in the nature of affirmative instructions to government to direct their activities to do certain things and thereby promote the realisation of the high ideals set forth in the Preamble of the Constitution.”

The inclusion of these principles was described by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar as a ‘Novel feature’ of the Indian Constitution. The objective of these principles is to establish a social and economic democracy in India. People cannot use their political rights properly if they are confronted with economic problems. Political democracy without social and economic democracy cannot be successful. The Directive Principles are complimentary to the Fundamental Rights.

According to Prof. J.C. Johri, “While Part III of Fundamental Rights lays down the Foundations of political democracy in the country. Part IV contains a set of positive directions spelling out the charter of social and economic democracy.”

According to Dr. K.C. Markandan, “If the chapter of Fundamental Rights is essential for the democratic state of written constitution, the chapter of Directive Principles of State Policy is essential for the welfare state of written constitution.” According to B.K. Gokhale, “In brief they aim at the establishment of a welfare state in which justice, liberty and equality shall prevail and people are happy and prosperous.”
