Explain the term 'Directive Principles of State Policy'.

The Directive Principles of State Policy are detailed in Part IV of the Indian Constitution.
They serve as a comprehensive guide to the central and state governments on how to frame policies and legislate laws.
These principles are not legally enforceable, but they are fundamental in shaping the governance of the nation.
The principles aim to create a social and economic democracy, complementing the political democracy already in place.
They advocate for a wide array of principles including equal pay for equal work, organization of village panchayats, right to work, to education, and public assistance in certain cases, among others.
