Budget Session 2024
The Budget Session 2023 kicked off yesterday, January 31, with Droupadi Murmu addressing the joint sitting of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha in the new Parliament building. In her maiden address to a joint sitting of the two Houses, President Murmu touched on varied issues ranging from inflation to the progress of the Indian economy in the last decade. Addressing the Parliament, President Murmu said that the Indian economy used to be among the 'fragile five' but was now moving in the right direction and at the right pace because of the various reforms that the administration has implemented during the past ten years.
Meanwhile, as per parliamentary conventions, the Economic Survey was not presented in the Lok Sabha a day ahead of the Union Budget. Following the President's Address to the Two Houses of Parliament, the Economic Survey is presented. However, since the Budget is going to be an Interim Budget with general elections being scheduled tentatively for April, the financial document was not presented this time around. PM Narendra Modi has vowed to bring a full-fledged Budget after forming of new government.
