What is the role of the Directive Principles of State Policy in the Constitution of India?

The Directive Principles of State Policy are guidelines for the State to promote social and economic welfare. They are not justiciable, meaning they cannot be enforced by the courts, but they serve as a framework for making laws and policies aimed at achieving social justice, economic equality, and improving the living standards of citizens. They play a crucial role in shaping the policies of the government.
