The order summoning the Assembly was issued by the Governor on June 10 under the provisions of Article 174(1) of the Constitution of India, which empowers the Governor to summon the state legislature from time to time.

According to the notification, the Budget Session will be held at the Assam Legislative Assembly complex in Dispur, where legislators are expected to deliberate on a range of financial, administrative and policy matters concerning the state.

Legislators are also likely to debate key developmental issues, review government programmes and discuss matters of public importance affecting different sectors of the state.

Apart from budgetary proposals, the session is expected to witness discussions on governance, infrastructure development, welfare initiatives, education, healthcare, agriculture and other policy issues. Several bills and legislative measures could also be introduced during the proceedings.

The Budget Session provides an important platform for both the ruling party and the opposition to scrutinise government expenditure, debate policy decisions and raise issues concerning their respective constituencies.
