• The term "results driven" is a great term. It speaks to a
person's ability to create momentum based on their
ultimate goal of getting things done She constantly looks
for areas of improvement. She realized that there is a
lack of data on Indian students studying abroad, so she
implemented a Students Registration module to track
these numbers. The Union government has introduced a
new registration module for Indian students who are
studying abroad in order to create a database. Minister

hearted attitude which draws even more people to her.

problems, she wittily replied “Brother I cannot help you in matters
of a Refrigerator. I am very busy with human beings in distress.”

12. Quick to take action

for help, she is quick to
reply. Madhu a migrant
girl from Pakistan was
finding it difficult to
obtain admission in an
Indian school as she did
not have her previous
School Leaving
Certificate or Birth
Certificate from Pakistan
with her.

matter and Madhu was
granted admission at a
government school.

problems. When people thank her, she has said that she does not need
thanks, and that ‘ it is [her] duty towards our country and countrymen,’ as she
has tweeted.
After wrestler, Vinesh Phogat, suffered from a ligament tear prompting her to
drop out from the Rio Olympics quarter final wrestling match, Swaraj reached
out to her and offered her much needed words of comfort.
“Vinesh- you are our daughter. Ask for anything you require,” she said
