00:00 On Sunday, June 9, a grand ceremony took place at the forecourt of the Rashtrapati Bhavan
00:14 in New Delhi, marking the beginning of the Third National Democratic Alliance, also called
00:20 NDA government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
00:35 As the Bharatiya Janata Party, BJP, begins its new term, the representation of women
00:41 in the cabinet has garnered significant attention.
00:46 Lets take a look at the women ministers in the Modi 3.0 cabinet.
01:10 The number of women ministers in the Modi 3.0 government has declined compared to the
01:16 previous term.
01:17 In 2019, six women ministers took the oath of office.
01:21 Among them were prominent leaders like Nirmala Sitharaman and Smriti Irani.
01:27 The female representation peaked at 11 after a major reshuffle in July 2021, the highest
01:35 in 17 years.
01:37 However, this time, the cabinet includes only seven women ministers, with only two holding
01:43 cabinet boards.
01:45 Nirmala Sitharaman remains a key figure in the Modi administration.
01:50 A seasoned politician, Sitharaman has held various significant portfolios.
01:56 She made history as India's first full-time woman defence minister in 2017 and continued
02:02 to break barriers by becoming the first full-time finance minister in Modi 2.0.
02:08 Her return to Modi 3.0 highlights her indispensable role in the government.
02:14 "I, Nirmala Sitharaman, do swear in the name of God that I will bear true faith and
02:22 allegiance to the constitution of India as by law established, that I will uphold the
02:29 sovereignty and integrity of India, that I will finish faithfully and conscientiously
02:37 discharge my duties as a minister for the union and that I will do right to all manner
02:44 of people in accordance with the constitution and the law without fear or favour, affection
02:52 or ill will."
02:54 Another returning face is Annapurna Devi.
02:57 Known for her impressive electoral victories, Devi served as the Union Minister of State
03:02 for Education in the previous government.
03:05 Hailing from the other backward class, Yadav community, her inclusion is significant for
03:10 representing marginalized communities in the cabinet.
03:40 Anupriya Patel, the President of Apna Dal Sonelal, is another noteworthy figure in the
03:47 Modi 3.0 cabinet.
03:49 Patel has a strong academic background and had served as the Minister of State for Health
03:55 in Modi's first term.
03:57 Her political acumen and dedication to her constituency have made her a valuable asset
04:03 to the NDA coalition.
04:06 "I, Anupriya Patel, swear by my true devotion that I will have true faith and dedication
04:20 to the constitution of India, which is established by law.
04:24 I will uphold the sovereignty and integrity of India.
04:30 I will fulfil my duties as the Chief Minister of the Union with full faith and integrity."
04:43 Shobha Karan Dalaje, known for her outspoken views on Hindutva, also returns as the Union
04:49 Minister.
04:50 With a strong RSS background, Karan Dalaje has made significant strides in her political
04:57 career.
04:58 She has previously served as the Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare
05:03 and continues to be a prominent leader in the BJP government.
05:07 "I, Shobha Karan Dalaje, swear by my true devotion that I will have true faith and dedication
05:17 to the constitution of India, which is established by law.
05:23 I will uphold the sovereignty and integrity of India.
05:29 I will fulfil my duties as the Chief Minister of the Union with full faith and integrity."
05:39 Modi 3.0 also brings in new faces to the cabinet.
05:43 Raksha Khadse, a three-time MP from Maharashtra, joins the government.
05:49 Her induction is significant ahead of the upcoming assembly elections in Maharashtra.
05:54 Khadse's background in grassroots politics and her OBC-Leva Patil community ties make
06:02 her a strategic addition to the cabinet.
06:05 "I, Raksha Nikhil Khadse, swear by my true devotion that I will have true faith and dedication
06:12 to the constitution of India, which is established by law.
06:15 I will uphold the sovereignty and integrity of India.
06:18 I will fulfil my duties as the Chief Minister of the Union with full faith and integrity."
06:24 From Gujarat, Neemu Ben Bambhania, a former mayor of Bhavnagar, has been sworn in as the
06:30 Minister of State.
06:32 Her victory in the Lok Sabha elections and her leadership in the BJP Mahila Modhsha highlight
06:37 her political capabilities.
06:39 Bambhania represents the diverse social fabric of India.
06:56 Savitri Thakur from Madhya Pradesh, a key tribal leader, also joins the Modi 3.0 cabinet.
07:26 Known for her work in uplifting tribal and poor women, Thakur's inclusion underscores
07:32 the government's commitment to social justice and representation of tribal communities.
07:38 "I, Savitri Thakur, swear by my true devotion that I will have true faith and dedication
07:47 to the constitution of India, which is established by law.
07:52 I will uphold the sovereignty and integrity of India."
07:57 As the Modi 3.0 cabinet gets to work, the inclusion of these seven women ministers,
08:03 each with unique backgrounds and expertise, reflects a blend of experience and new energy.
08:11 Their roles and contributions will be crucial in shaping the future policies and governance
08:17 of the country.
