Solution

No, Directive Principles of State Policy are a non-justiciable part of the Constitution of India.

This means they cannot be enforced by any court of law. Although they are included in Part IV (Articles 36 to 51) of the Constitution and are considered fundamental in the governance of the country, citizens cannot approach the courts if the government fails to implement them. These principles serve as guidelines for the State to promote social and economic justice and to establish a welfare state.
