What are PM Modi-led Government’s Initial Decisions?
As Prime Minister Narendra Modi commences his third consecutive term, the initial decisions of his government highlight the priority of farmer welfare and address housing needs across rural and urban India.

PM Kisan Nidhi Scheme
PM Modi’s first official move after assuming office is the authorization of the 17th installment of the PM Kisan Nidhi scheme. This decision benefits 9.3 crore farmers, with an allocation of approximately Rs 20,000 crores. According to India TV, he affirms, “Our government is fully committed to Kisan Kalyan, and it is fitting that the first file signed on taking charge is related to farmer welfare. We want to keep working even more for the farmers and the agriculture sector in the times to come.”

Educational Ministry & Return of Dharmendra Pradhan
Dharmendra Pradhan’s retention as the Minister of Education shows the government’s trust in him to steer the education policies of the nation. According to the Indian Express, the ministry under Mr. Pradhan is divided into two sub-categories: the Department of School Education and Literacy, and the Department of Higher Education. The first takes care of policies and matters of school-level education, whereas the latter is concerned with university-level education and scholarships.

Dharmendra Pradhan tweets on Monday, “Grateful to Hon. PM @narendramodi ji for reassigning me the role of Minister of Education in Modi 3.0. A vibrant knowledge vertical will be one of the strongest pillars of Viksit Bharat.
