Statement 1 is true: the Directive Principles (Part IV) were framed to realise ‘economic and social democracy’ by guiding the State toward welfare-oriented policies. Statement 2 is also true: Article 37 explicitly says the provisions ‘shall not be enforceable by any court’, making them non-justiciable. Hence both statements are correct and option (c) is right.
