P, Q, R and S are facing towards the center.
T, U, V and W are facing away from the center.

Note that in this question, any 2 adjacent persons are going to be facing in opposite directions.

W is sitting second to the right of The leader of Opposition. This means the leader of opposition must be facing away from the center (as W is facing away from the center).
T is third to the left of Finance Minister, which Means Finance Minister is facing towards the center (as T is facing away from the center and Finance minister is sitting third to the right of him).
Now Finance Minister is not an immediate neighbor of T, hence the arrangement becomes :-

Since U is sitting to the immediate left of Prime Minister, Prime Minister must be facing towards the center (As U is facing away from the center).

(This is the only possible place for U to be facing outwards with Prime Minister being on his left)

V is the Education minister.
Now Home Minister and Foreign Ministers are immediate neighbors. Also Foreign Minister is not an immediate neighbor of Leader of Opposition.
Only one person is sitting between Home Minister and S.
Now, since Prime Minister is not an immediate neighbor of Defense Secretory, S has to be the Defense Secretory. Thus, U is the HRD minister.

Now, neither R, nor S is the Prime Minister. So R has to be the Home Minister. Since P is not the neighbor of V, P has to be Prime Minister and Q has to be Finance Minister.
Hence R is the Home Minister.
Hence the Final Arrangement is :-

P is the Prime Minister.
