Both statements are correct.

Statement 1: The Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) in the Indian Constitution spell out the objectives and goals to be achieved by the state in the socio-economic sphere. They aim to establish a social and economic democracy in the country by promoting principles such as equal justice, welfare of the people, and elimination of inequalities.

Statement 2: The provisions of DPSP are not enforceable by any court. Unlike fundamental rights, which are justiciable and can be enforced by the courts, the DPSP are non-justiciable in nature. However, they are still considered fundamental in the governance of the country and are used as guiding principles for the government in formulating policies and legislation.
