Explanation

The Directive Principles of State Policy (Part IV of the Constitution) are non-enforceable in courts, unlike Fundamental Rights (Part III). They are guidelines for the government to establish a just society. The government cannot be sued for not implementing them, which is why they are described as 'non-enforceable'. They are not quasi-enforceable or partly enforceable - they are entirely non-justiciable.
