Which of the following is NOT provided for under the Directive Principles of State Policy?

The Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) in Part IV of the Constitution include the right to work, education, and public assistance under Article 41 [2]. Article 44 provides for a Uniform Civil Code for citizens [5]. Article 50 mandates the separation of the judiciary from the executive [5]. Regarding worker participation, Article 43A (added by the 42nd Amendment) specifically provides for the 'participation of workers in the management of industries,' undertakings, or other organizations [6]. There is no provision in the DPSP for the 'participation of workers in the management of local-self government.' While Article 40 deals with the organization of village panchayats as units of self-government, it does not link worker participation to their management [4]. Therefore, option 4 is the incorrect provision under the DPSP framework.
