Which of the following was not added to the Directive Principles by the 42nd Amendment of the Constitution?

Explanation

The 42nd Amendment of the Constitution of India added four new Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) to the original list:

1) Article 39: Article 39(f) of the Indian Constitution,1950 was substituted through the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976 to expand the scope of the said article. Previously, Article 39(f) stated that "childhood and youth are protected or guarded against exploitation or manipulation and against moral and material abandonment".

2) Article 39A: To promote equal justice and to provide free legal aid to the poor.

3) Article 43A: To take steps to secure the participation of workers in the management of industries.

4) Article 48A: To protect and improve the environment and to safeguard forests and wildlife.

This Uniform Civil Code (UCC) comes under Article 44 of the Indian constitution which refers to directive principles of state policy. This was already a part of the Directive Principles of State Policy before the 42nd Amendment and was not added by it.
