Structural Geography of Constitutional Directives

Only the third statement is accurate regarding Part IV. Raising the level of nutrition and public health is Article 47, a classic DPSP located in Part IV. The first statement is false in this context; promoting the Hindi language is a directive found in Part XVII (Article 351). The second statement is false; considering SC/ST claims in public services is found in Part XVI (Article 335). They are directives, but they reside outside Part IV.

The Assertion is true; Part IV does not contain *all* directives. Both Reasons provide excellent factual proof: Reason 1 accurately summarizes the structural dispersion of these rules, and Reason 2 provides a specific, verifiable example by placing the Hindi mandate in Part XVII.

The first assessment is correct. The minister has successfully fulfilled a core mandate of Part IV (Article 47: nutrition and public health). The critic is fundamentally flawed in their constitutional geography; promoting Hindi (Article 351) and considering SC/ST claims in hiring (Article 335) are indeed constitutional directives, but they are located in Part XVII and Part XVI respectively, not Part IV.

Only one provision is validly classified as a Part IV DPSP (Statement 1: nutrition/health under Article 47). Statement 2 is a fabricated distractor (adequate means of communication is not a listed DPSP). Statements 3 and 4 are actual constitutional directives, but they reside outside Part IV (Article 335 in Part XVI and Article 351 in Part XVII, respectively).
