The Directive Principles are “fundamental in the governance of the country”, by saying so, it means it shall be the duty of the State to apply these principles in making laws so as to protect the public welfare and it’s interests. All executive agencies should also be guided by these principles. The judiciary too has to keep them in mind in deciding cases.
