Question

Mention the Directive Principles which proclaim that the Indian State is a Welfare State.

Answer 1

1. The State is directed to ensure to the people
   (a) the right to work,
   (b) the right to education, and
   (c) the right to State assistance in cases of unemployment, old age, sickness, and disablement.
2. The State is directed to secure to the workers, “a living wage”. A “living wage” is a wage that is large enough to enable you to buy food, clothing, a roof your head, and other necessary things. Conditions of work should be such as to ensure a decent standard of life and full enjoyment of leisure.
