Cooperative Societies will expand
The ministry will simplify the processes of 'ease of doing business' for cooperatives. It will also help in spreading a true people based movement. The Ministry will work towards streamlining processes for ease of doing business for cooperatives and development of Multi-State Cooperative Societies (MSCS).
Formed after the announcement in the Budget.

All Eyes On Cabinet Reshuffle
The first cabinet expansion in the second term of the Modi government is expected on Wednesday. There has not been an official announcement about this.

Narendra Modi started his second term as Prime Minister in May 2019 with 57 ministers. According to sources, it is firmly believed that in this cabinet expansion and reshuffle, special attention will be given to Uttar Pradesh and Bihar and at present, many ministers have two ministries each and steps could be taken to reduce the burden of these ministers.
