On Tuesday, July 05, 2016, just ahead of the monsoon session of Parliament scheduled to start later this month, Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi inducted 19 new ministers into the Council of Ministers. The list has several ministers which includes seven OBCs, five Dalits, two from minority communities and two women. The 19 have been drawn from 10 states. However, several of the new ministers are in their 60s and have been brought in primarily to ensure the delivery of promises the government has made in its three budgets and the BJP manifesto.
Present environment minister Prakash Javadekar, who was at the minister of state level, was elevated to Cabinet minister rank. The rest have been sworn in as ministers of state. Meanwhile, five ministers were also dropped from the Cabinet. The five minister are - Minister of State for Human Resource Development Ram Shankar Katheria, Minister of State for Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation Sanwar Lal Jat, Minister of State for Tribal Affairs Mansukhbhai D Vasava, Ministers of State for Agriculture M K Kundariya, and Minister of State for Panchayati Raj Nihal Chand.
