    Solution

    The 42nd Amendment Act of 1976 added four new Directive Principles to the original list. They require the State: o To secure opportunities for healthy development of children (Article 39). o To promote equal justice and to provide free legal aid to the poor (Article 39 A). o To take steps to secure the participation of workers in the management of industries (Article 43 A). o To protect and improve the environment and to safeguard forests and wild life (Article 48 A) • The 44th Amendment Act of 1978 added one more Directive Principle, which requires the State to minimise inequalities in income, status, facilities and opportunities.
