Consider the following provisions under the Directive Principles of State Policy as enshrined in the Constitution of India:<br/>1. Securing for citizens of India a uniform civil code.<br/>2. Organizing village Panchayats.<br/>3. Promoting cottage industries in rural areas.<br/>4. Securing for all the workers reasonable leisure and cultural opportunities.<br/><br/>Which of the above are the Gandhian Principles that are reflected in the Directive Principles of State Policy?

1. Uniform civil code — Article 44; this is classified under liberal-intellectual principles, not Gandhian. Verdict: Incorrect.

2. Organizing village Panchayats — Article 40; village self-government is a core Gandhian principle. Verdict: Correct.

3. Promoting cottage industries in rural areas — Article 43 specifically supports cottage industries on an individual/cooperative basis in rural areas; this reflects Gandhian economic thought. Verdict: Correct.

4. Reasonable leisure and cultural opportunities for workers — Article 43 mentions living wage, decent standard of life, leisure and social/cultural opportunities, but this is treated as a socialist principle, not Gandhian. Verdict: Incorrect.

Therefore, the Gandhian principles here are 2 and 3 only.
