Enforceability of DPSPs

Many times the question arises that whether an individual can sue the state
government or the central government for not following the directive principles
enumerated in Part IV. The answer to this question is in negative.

The reason for the same lies in Article 37 which states that:
The provisions contained in this Part shall not be enforceable by any court, but
the principles therein laid down are nevertheless fundamental in the governance
of the country and it shall be the duty of the State to apply these principles in
making laws.
