Explanation
★The correct sequential order is to organise village panchayats, to secure the right to work, to make provision for just and humane conditions of work, and to secure a living wage, which is option (2), namely A, B, C, D.
★The Directive Principles are arranged in Part IV of the Constitution from Article 36 to Article 51.
★The organisation of village panchayats appears in Article 40.
★The right to work, education and public assistance appears in Article 41.
★The provision for just and humane conditions of work and maternity relief appears in Article 42.
★The securing of a living wage and a decent standard of life for workers appears in Article 43.
★So the order by article number is 40, then 41, then 42, then 43.
★This gives the sequence A, then B, then C, then D, matching option (2).
★Article 40 reflects the Gandhian vision of decentralised village self government.
★Articles 41, 42 and 43 reflect the socialistic concern for the welfare of workers.
★The Directive Principles set goals that the State should aim to achieve through its policies.
★They are non justiciable but are meant to be fundamental in the governance of the country.
★Questions that ask for the order of articles test precise knowledge of their numbering.
★Reading the Directive Principles in article order helps fix this sequence in memory.
★For NET, fix the order as Article 40 panchayats, Article 41 right to work, Article 42 humane conditions, and Article 43 living wage.
