TN Budget 2026: TVK govt to present Agriculture Budget

CHENNAI: The TVK government will present its maiden Agriculture Budget in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly on Thursday.

Speaker of the House JCD Prabhakar will open the day's session with a recitation of Thirukkural, after which Minister for Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare, R Vinoth, will present the agricultural budget estimates.

Against the backdrop of ongoing political discussions and debates over the Cauvery water dispute, the Mekedatu dam project, and farm loan waivers, this separate agriculture budget carries significant political and socioeconomic significance.

This follows the general state budget presented on Wednesday by State Finance Minister N Marie Wilson.

The debate on the main budget estimates and the agriculture budget estimates will begin from August 7.

Accordingly, the whole budget session of the Tamil Nadu Assembly will be held till September 8.
