    Digital Desk: Assam Finance Minister Ajanta Neog announced that the state budget for the fiscal year 2023–24 will be presented on March 16.


    The budget will be presented at the Assam Legislative Assembly.


    Neog told that the budget covers socioeconomic aspects of the state and contains little good news for women.


    In reference to the prior year's budget, she stated, "Last year, efforts were made to fulfill the commitments made in the nine-month budget. We had been very successful in this regard."


    Earlier, Ajanta Neog stated that the government would make 40,000 new appointments between May 10 and May 20.


    The finance minister made the statement earlier in the day while speaking at the Assam Legislative Assembly's current budget session. The announcement was made in response to a query from Sivasagar MLA and Raijor Dal chief Akhil Gogoi during the ongoing budget session.


    Meanwhile, Akhil Gogoi had questioned the government on overlapping appointments to state government posts, which finance minister Ajanta Neog strongly refuted.
