In India, the basic aims of a welfare state are clearly fore-shadowed in the : (1) Preamble of the Constitution (2) Fundamental Rights (3) Directive Principles of the State Policy (4) Eleventh schedule of the Constitution (5) Twelfth schedule of the Constitution Choose the correct code :
(1), (2) and (3)
The Preamble promises Justice — social, economic and political — and equality of status and opportunity, which sets the welfare-state goal at the very outset of the Constitution.
The Fundamental Rights (Part III) give the welfare idea its rights-based floor: equality (Arts 14–16), abolition of untouchability (Art 17), prohibition of traffic in human beings and forced labour (Art 23) and of child labour in hazardous work (Art 24).
The Directive Principles (Part IV) are the clearest statement of the welfare state: Art 38 directs the State to secure a social order based on social, economic and political justice to promote the welfare of the people, supported by Arts 39, 41, 42, 43, 46 and 47.
The Eleventh and Twelfth Schedules were added only in 1992 by the 73rd and 74th Amendments; they merely list the functional subjects (29 for Panchayats, 18 for Municipalities) that may be devolved to local bodies, so they do not foreshadow the basic aims of the welfare state.
Hence, the answer is (1), (2) and (3).
