UPSC 2017: Which principle among the following was added to the Directive Principles of State Policy by the 42nd Amendment to the Constitution?
(a)Equal pay for equal work for both men and women
(b)Participation of workers in the management of industries
(c)Right to work, education and public assistance
(d)Securing living wage and human conditions of work to workers

Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) Participation of workers in the management of industries
A ‘private member’ is any MP who is not a minister—elected or nominated—so Statement 1 is wrong. Parliament has passed 14 private-member bills in the past (first in 1954; last in 1970), so it is not true that one was passed for the first time ‘recently’; Statement 2 is also wrong. Therefore neither statement is correct. ([drishtiias.com](https://www.drishtiias.com/current-affairs-news-analysis-editorials/news-analysis/03-01-2025/print/manual?utm_source=openai))
