Explanation
The right to work in India has been provided under Directive Principle of State Policy in the Indian Constitution.
Article 41 of the Indian Constitution, which is a part of the Directive Principles of State Policy, provides that "the State shall, within the limits of its economic capacity and development, make effective provision for securing the right to work, to education and to public assistance in cases of unemployment, old age, sickness and disablement, and in other cases of undeserved want."
The Constitution of India recognizes the importance of the right to work as a fundamental aspect of ensuring social and economic justice for all citizens. The Directive Principles of State Policy are guidelines for the government to follow while making laws and policies, and although they are not enforceable by the courts, they are still considered essential for the governance of the country.
In addition to the Directive Principle, the Fundamental Rights under the Indian Constitution also provide for the right to work. Article 16 of the Constitution prohibits discrimination in employment on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex, or place of birth, and provides for equal opportunity for all citizens in matters of employment.
