Lok Sabha To Delve Into Union And Jammu & Kashmir Budgets In Tuesday’s Session

On Tuesday, the Lok Sabha’s agenda will prominently feature a detailed discussion on the Union Budget as well as the Budget of Jammu and Kashmir.

The day’s proceedings will likely feature several significant ministerial actions.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will take center stage with the introduction of a pivotal bill aimed at authorizing payments and appropriations from the Consolidated Fund of Jammu and Kashmir for the fiscal year 2024-25.

This bill is crucial for ensuring the financial allocations required to support the administrative and developmental services in the region.

In addition, Home Minister Amit Shah is likely to present a motion to initiate the election process for the Committee on Official Language.

This move is part of a broader effort to strengthen and streamline the governance of official language matters.

Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal will also be active, presenting motions to elect two members each to several key boards:

• The Coffee Board, Spices Board, Rubber Board, Tea Board
• Marine Products Export Development Authority

These elections are integral to the effective functioning and strategic oversight of these boards.

Moreover, Textiles Minister Giriraj Singh will propose a motion to elect four new members to the Central Silk Board, which plays a vital role in promoting and regulating the silk industry in India.

In a related development, Minister of State for Commerce Jitin Prasada will address the Lok Sabha with updates on the implementation of recommendations from various reports of the Standing Committee on Commerce.

His statements will provide insights into the progress and challenges associated with these recommendations.
