Answer 2

The Council of Ministers comprises three hierarchies of ministers - Cabinet, Ministry of State and Deputy Ministers.

• Cabinet Ministers: The ministers of the Cabinet lead the significant ministries of the Union government like the Defence Ministry, Home Ministry, Finance Ministry, External Affairs Ministers etc. All these ministries play a vital role in deciding agreements and taking decisions considering the transaction of the business of the government.

• Ministry of State: The ministers of state can either be bound to cabinet ministers or can be provided independent regulation of departments or ministries. In both prosecutions, they work under the supervision and custody of the Cabinet ministers.

• Deputy Ministers: Deputy Ministers are not given independent regulation of a department or ministries. They are bounded to the cabinet ministers or ministers of state. Their major duty is for assisting the cabinet ministers or ministry of state in their executive, parliamentary and political responsibilities. They also do not heed cabinet meetings because they are not the members of the Cabinet.
