Decent answer. Content is good.
In introduction, you can mention about the backdrop of Covid 19, virtual diplomacy gaining ground etc.
NAM cannot be said to be completely irrelevant since India is still not in any ‘blocs’.
Next part is good, also mention about some of the friendly relations which were quite in news e.g.. Vaccine diplomacy, Partnership with US, Quad, acceptance of AUKUS , Western Quad etc
Climate change agreements at Glasgow can also be mentioned.
Presidentship of security Council and pushing for reforms there can also be discussed.
Other points are good, conclusion is nice. Keep practicing. 🙂

Nice answer. Introduction is fine, however, you can also start by mentioning the backdrop of Covid19 pandemic and how it has affected diplomacy.
Next part about challenges is good. In Taliban crisis, you can expand a bit- about China-Pak axis.
Changes part is also good. Include points about climate change negotiations, India’s stand etc. In positive engagement, vaccine diplomacy can also be mentioned.
Conclusion is good.
Try to cover all dimensions.
Overall nice attempt.
Keep practicing. 🙂
