Detailed Solution

“Assist cabinet minister” is a function of the minister of state.
Typically, smaller Ministries are under the direction of Ministers of State with independent charge. They attend Cabinet meetings only when particularly invited; Ministers of State work closely with and support Cabinet Ministers. The Minister of State (MoS) is under the Minister of the Cabinet. There is a Minister of State for each cabinet member. Their duties include overseeing the day-to-day operations of a ministry and its state-centric operations. Each MOS answers to a Cabinet Minister or an Independent Charge of Ministry; they collaborate closely. They are required to divide up the cabinet minister's workload.
