The Indian Constitution is a living breathing document, wherein ideals stated in Preamble are reinforced through the Directive principles. These require a national effort in education, childhood care, health un-employment and old age and for minimizing inequalities. Directive principles are implemented for social justice by the way of Land reforms Act, Banking nationalization, fixation of minimum wages, welfare schemes for the weaker sections, Panchayati raj system, Equal remuneration act, environmental safeguards, compulsory education for children and etc. This paper attempts to examine and explore the implementation, judiciary response & innovative interpretations of Directive principles. The aim of Directives is to attain a substantial degree of social, economic and political equality. Directive principles are non-justiciable rights and are enforceable by any court even though these are considered as fundamentals and obligate the state to take positive action to promote the welfare of the nation. After Independence several laws were enacted to fulfill socialistic goals of the Constitution contained in the Directive principles. All most all enactments and amendments (eg.Art.31C&42^nd Ammendament) were challenged before judiciary. In some cases conflicts between Fundamental rights and Directive principles was prevailed. Although in the earlier decisions the judiciary paid less regard to the Directive principles, in course of time and with the dynamic judiciary, these principles emerged as the jurisprudential foundation for the new era rights. Judicial activism, PILs, Social Action Litigations contributed enormous in the development of directive principles jurisprudence. So recent judgments have declared many directive principles as fundamental rights and have enforced them. Even though there is need to ameliorate the poverty and unemployment, and enhance the human development (health, education). There is huge need to the state to understand their real role towards realizing the goals set in the Directive principles.
