"Everything is in place and the Budget session will begin on March 6 with an address by the Governor to the joint session of the Council and the Assembly. The Budget for 2017-18 will be presented to the House on March 13 followed by a separate budget for agriculture," Yanamala told reporters on the occasion.

"We will decide on the exact dates at the Business Advisory Committee meeting on the 6th," Yanamala, who is also the Finance Minister, said.
