determination in the nation to move forward with the confidence. As in the first expansion of
the Modi-2.0 cabinet 43 new faces have been included, new blood instilled in the government

pandemic. In an all inclusive ministry, 11 women including two cabinet berths show Prime Minister Shri
Narendra Modi’s commitment to widen the role of ‘Naari-Shakti’ in governance. At the same time,
while the average age of the ministry is 58 years, 14 ministers including six in the cabinet are below 50
years of age. Drawing expertise from various walks of life, the ministry includes 13 lawyers, six doctors,
five engineer, seven civil servants, seven PhDs and three MBAs. Under the charismatic and visionary
leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, inclusive, youthful ministry along with inclusiion of

slated to share the responsibilities of 18-44 age group. While the BJP ruled states
were committed to give free vaccines to its people, some states showed their inability to procure vaccines.
Consequently, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi took the responsibility of vaccinating people of 18-44 age

getting vaccines and they are participating in the vaccination drive in large numbers.
The nation is fighting the Covid-19 pandemic under the dynamic and determined leadership of Prime
Minister Shri Narendra Modi on various fronts. While Covid-19 pandemic has not even spared the most
developed nations of the world, the united spirit of the people of India has withstood the crisis with
unprecedented patience and fortitude. In such trying times, a section of opposition led by Congress
has tried to create panic and break the morale of the nation. It is highly unfortunate that for Congress
politics was prioritised at the cost of the life of the people. While the nation is fighting the pandemic and
every crisis with indomitable courage, the expansion of the cabinet will definitely give new dynamism,
momentum and speed to the government.
