The Budget session began on Friday with the opening address by Governor Indrasena Reddy Nallu.

The detailed schedule and business of the session were finalized at a meeting of the Business Advisory Committee (BAC) held at the Assembly complex. On the opening day, the Governor delivered his address, which was later laid on the table of the House by the Assembly Secretary.

Finance Minister Pranajit Singha Roy also tabled the Supplementary Budget for the financial year 2025–26 in the House. The Assembly also observed an obituary reference in memory of former Speaker Biswa Bandhu Sen on the first day of the session.

It may be recalled that after the BAC meeting held on March 6, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ratan Lal Nath had said that the state government would introduce three Bills in the Assembly to establish three new universities — Tripura Women’s University, Tripura University of Health Sciences, and Tripura Technical University.

Sources further said that the formal process for electing a new Speaker of the Assembly is scheduled to be held on March 18.
