Which part of the Constitution of India declares the ideal of Welfare State?
Correct Answer: Option A
A Welfare State is a form of government deeply involved in the social and economic well-being of its citizens. It champions principles like equality of opportunity, fair wealth distribution, and state responsibility for ensuring a basic standard of living.
The Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) in the Indian Constitution specifically embody the concept of a 'Welfare State'.
Key features of a Welfare State include social insurance programs (like the National Social Assistance Programme), public education, healthcare, and housing.
The Preamble declares India to be a 'socialist' state, reinforcing the concept of a Welfare State.
Therefore, the Directive Principles of State Policy declare the ideal of a Welfare State.
