INTRODUCTION

“Social and Economic Justice have been given a place of pride in our Constitution and one of the directive principles of State policy enshrined in Art. 38 requires that the State shall strive to promote the welfare of the people by securing and protecting as effectively as it may a social order in which justice social, economic and political shall inform all the institutions of national life. The concept of social and economic justice is a living concept of revolutionary import; it gives sustenance to the rule of law and meaning and significance to the ideal of a welfare state.”1 - P.B. Gajendragadkar J

When India made a tryst with destiny, the Constitution was solemnly enacted and we, the People gave ourselves to the Constitution. The Constitution made a promise to create an egalitarian economy in its directive principles, wherein the ownership and control of the material resources of the community are so distributed as best to subserve the common good so the operation of the economic system does not result in the concentration of wealth and means of production to the common detriment. The Ideal of the Constitution in regard to the protection of labour rights get resonated in Chapter- III & Chapter IV of the Constitution of India which contains Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles of State Policy which sets an aim to be achieved by the Government of Country.
