Explanation

The objective of 'Economic Justice' is explicitly enshrined in both the Preamble and the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP).

  1. The Preamble: It aims to secure to all citizens of India Justice in three distinct forms: Social, Economic, and Political. Economic justice implies the elimination of inequalities in wealth, income, and property.

  2. Directive Principles of State Policy (Part IV):

    • Article 38: Directs the State to secure a social order for the promotion of the welfare of the people, specifically mentioning the need to strive for a social order permeated by social, economic, and political justice.
    • Article 39: Further reinforces economic justice by directing the State to ensure that citizens have an adequate means of livelihood and that the operation of the economic system does not result in the concentration of wealth.

Note on Fundamental Rights: While Fundamental Rights (Part III) ensure political and civil justice (like equality before the law), the specific mandate for 'Economic Justice' is primarily found in the Preamble and the DPSP.
