Marking a significant revamp to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Union Cabinet, 36 new Ministers were sworn in on Wednesday at Rashtrapati Bhavan. The revamped Cabinet, touted to the youngest-ever in India's history, is also said to have equitable representation of caste, gender and from regions across the country. The rejig brought about also marks the first expansion of the Union Cabinet after the BJP-led Centre returned to power in 2019 and recently completed 2 years coinciding with the reshuffling with the same time when PM Modi had expanded it in his first term at the Centre. 

With the entry of 36 new Ministers in PM Modi's team, the Cabinet expansion has also witnessed a significant change in portfolios as 12 sitting Union Ministers tendered their resignations earlier today to make way for the new faces. Several Union Ministers were also divested of their additional Ministries for the same purpose as well. Moreover, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also introduced the first-ever Ministry of Co-operation to provide a separate administrative, legal and policy framework for strengthening the cooperative movement in the country.
