Choose the correct answer from the options given below
The question asks us to identify which part of the Indian Constitution declares India to be a welfare state. To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the specific roles of various parts of the Constitution:
- Part III: Fundamental Rights
This part consists of Articles 12 to 35 and ensures various fundamental rights like equality before the law, freedom of speech, and protection against discrimination. While these rights are essential for the welfare of citizens, this part does not specifically declare India as a welfare state. - Part IV: Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP)
This section, which includes Articles 36 to 51, explicitly directs the state to apply these principles in making laws to establish a just society. The Directive Principles aim to establish social and economic democracy and declare India to be a welfare state. Hence, this is the correct answer. - Part IX: Panchayats
This part deals with the organization of Panchayats and their powers. It is focused on strengthening decentralized governance and does not directly declare India to be a welfare state. - Part VI: States
This part covers the government structure in Indian states but does not emphasize India being a welfare state.
Based on the explanations above, Part IV of the Indian Constitution declares India to be a welfare state by instructing the state to apply certain principles pivotal for governance aimed at the welfare of the people. Therefore, the correct option is Only II.
