Indian Polity & Governance

📚 This topic overlaps across exams — read our in-depth, shared write-up: Fundamental Rights (Articles 12–35) →

📖 Core areas

Constitutional framework — Preamble, Fundamental Rights, Directive Principles, Fundamental Duties.
Union & State machinery — Parliament, President, judiciary, and Centre-State relations.
Local governance — Panchayati Raj and Municipalities (73rd & 74th Amendments).
Labour-related provisions — Articles relevant to employment and social security (Art. 41, 42, 43).

🎯 Why it matters for EPFO

Polity overlaps directly with EPFO's mandate — Directive Principles like Article 41 (right to work, public assistance) and Article 43 (living wage, social security) are commonly tested here.

💡 Key Facts

Article 41 (right to work, education, public assistance) and Article 43 (living wage) are DPSPs directly relevant to EPFO's role.
73rd and 74th Amendments established Panchayati Raj and Municipalities respectively (1992).
Fundamental Rights are enforceable in court; Directive Principles are not, but are 'fundamental in governance'.
Static polity questions are usually direct — know Articles and Schedules precisely.
