Gandhian DPSPs include organising village panchayats (Art. 40) and promoting cottage/village industries in rural areas (Art. 43). Uniform civil code (Art. 44) belongs to the liberal-intellectual group, while leisure and cultural opportunities for workers (Art. 43A/Art. 41) fall under socialist principles. Therefore only statements 2 and 3 reflect Gandhian ideals. ([nammakpsc.com](https://www.nammakpsc.com/practices/gandhian-principles-indian-constitution/?utm_source=openai))
