President Droupadi Murmu will address both Houses of Parliament on January 31, 2025, marking the beginning of the Budget Session. The address is scheduled for 11 a.m. in the Lok Sabha Chamber of the Parliament House.
The Budget Session will be conducted in two phases, according to a Parliamentary Bulletin. The first phase will commence on January 31, followed by the presentation of the Union Budget on February 1, and conclude on February 13.
The session is expected to set the stage for discussions on the government’s economic policies and budgetary priorities for the fiscal year 2025-26. President Murmu’s speech will outline the government’s agenda and key focus areas for the upcoming year.
This year’s Budget Session holds particular significance as it is anticipated to address pressing issues such as economic growth, climate action, and welfare measures, alongside other critical national priorities.
The second phase of the session is expected to reconvene later in the year.
