The session was notable for several key highlights and pivotal moments:
Detailed Introductions: Prime Minister Modi personally introduced each member of his cabinet to the Rajya Sabha, detailing their qualifications, professional backgrounds, and designated responsibilities within the government.

Cross-party Unity: The introduction garnered enthusiastic applause and bipartisan support from parliamentarians across party lines, highlighting a collective commitment to national governance and development. The session underscored the shared responsibility among lawmakers to collaborate on critical issues impacting the country’s progress and welfare.
Prominent Attendees: The event was graced by the presence of prominent leaders including J P Nadda, Leader of the House, Mallikarjun Kharge, Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, and other senior political figures. Their participation underscored the spirit of cooperative governance and underscored the importance of inclusive decision-making processes in Parliament.
Inaugural Address: Concurrently, the commencement of the 264th session of the Rajya Sabha featured a joint address by President Droupadi Murmu, outlining the government’s legislative priorities and setting the stage for robust debates and deliberations on key national issues.
With the formal introduction of the Council of Ministers complete, the focus now shifts to the effective implementation of strategic policies and initiatives aimed at fostering economic growth, social equity, and sustainable development.
