Match each Directive Principle of State Policy (DPSP) in List I with its…

Concept

The Directive Principles of State Policy are constitutional directions to the State in Part IV of the Constitution (Articles 36–51). They guide governance and are not directly enforceable by courts.

For matching questions, identify the subject of each Article independently, then combine the four pairings; do not infer a match from the order in which the lists are printed.

Application

1. Article 43B concerns the State’s promotion of voluntary formation, autonomous functioning, democratic control and professional management of co-operative societies. Therefore A pairs with i.

2. Article 44 directs the State to endeavour to secure a Uniform Civil Code for citizens. Therefore B pairs with ii.

3. Article 50 directs the State to separate the judiciary from the executive in the public services of the State. Therefore C pairs with iv.

4. Article 40 directs the State to organise village panchayats and give them powers needed for self-government. Therefore D pairs with iii.

Cross-check

Reading the Articles in numerical order gives Article 40—village panchayats, Article 43B—co-operative societies, Article 44—Uniform Civil Code, and Article 50—separation of judiciary from executive. This independently confirms the mapping A–i, B–ii, C–iv, D–iii.

Result: A–i, B–ii, C–iv, D–iii.
