Assam Budget 2023-24 To Be Tabled on March 16

Guwahati: Assam Finance Minister Ajanta Neog said that the state budget presentation for the fiscal year 2023–24 will take place on March 16.

The budget will be presented in front of the Assam Legislative Assembly.

Neog informed that the budget covers socio-economic aspects of the state and it involves little good news for women.

Speaking on previous year’s budget, she said, “Last year attempts were to fulfill the promises made in the nine-month budget. We had been quite successful in this regard.”

Ajanta Neog had already declared that the administration would appoint 40,000 new employees between May 10 and May 20.

The announcement was made earlier in the day by the finance minister as he was speaking at the Assam Legislative Assembly’s ongoing budget session. The announcement was made in response to a query made by Raijor Dal leader and MLA for Sivasagar, Akhil Gogoi, during the currently taking place budget session.

Finance minister Ajanta Neog vehemently disagreed with Akhil Gogoi’s concerns about overlap in appointments to state government positions.
