-
A.
Promotion of international peace and security
-
B.
Equal pay for equal work for men and women
-
C.
Right to Education
-
D.
Organization of Village Panchayats
Correct Answer:
C. Right to Education
Explanation:
The Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP), found in Part IV (Articles 36-51) of the Indian Constitution, serve as non-justiciable guidelines for the government to establish a welfare state and promote socio-economic justice. Key principles include the promotion of international peace (Article 51), ensuring equal pay for equal work (Article 39d), and the organization of Village Panchayats (Article 40). While the Right to Education was originally a directive under Article 45, the 86th Amendment Act of 2002 transformed the right to free and compulsory education for children aged 6 to 14 into a Fundamental Right under Article 21A. Therefore, while the state still endeavors to provide early childhood care, the specific Right to Education as commonly defined is now categorized as a Fundamental Right rather than a Directive Principle.
