Solution
The implementation of the Directive Principles in respect of the given sphere is explained below:
Social Justice: The Programme of Universalisation of Elementary Education has been accorded the highest priority in order to provide free and compulsory education to all children up to the age of 14 years. The 93rd Constitution Amendment Bill was passed by the Parliament on May 14, 2002. It aims to provide free and compulsory education to all children aged 6-14 years in the country.
The Center and the State governments both have been implementing Welfare Schemes for the weaker sections. These schemes include programmes such as Boys and Girls Hostels for SC/ST students. The year 1990-91 was declared as the ‘Year of Social Justice’. Free textbooks are being provided by the government to all SC/STs and Girl students. A sum of nearly 75 lakh rupees was sanctioned for this purpose during the year 2001-2002.
The Prevention of Atrocities Act enacted by the Government ensures full protection to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes against atrocities. The Act renders severe punishments for acts considered as atrocities.
