Question and options

Which proposal is NOT a Directive Principle of State Policy in the Constitution of India?

  1. Organise village panchayats

  2. Secure a uniform civil code for citizens and non-citizens

  3. Provide for work, education and public assistance in certain cases

  4. Separate the judiciary from the executive in the public services of the State

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B - Secure a uniform civil code for citizens and non-citizens

Article 44 directs the State to endeavour to secure a uniform civil code for the citizens throughout India, so extending it to non-citizens makes that proposal wrong. Organising village panchayats (Article 40), the right to work, education and public assistance in certain cases (Article 41) and separating the judiciary from the executive (Article 50) are all Directive Principles.
