       is set to further speed up the government efforts in meeting the challenges posed by the Covid-19
       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,

       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.
