The Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly has reconvened for the 2026-27 budget session following a two-day weekend break. Having previously completed debates for 32 departments, the House is now moving to address the remaining grant demands for four key departments: Welfare of Differently Abled Persons, Prohibition and Excise, Social Welfare and Women’s Rights, and Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare.

Proceedings are scheduled to commence with Question Hour, allowing ministers to respond to inquiries regarding government policies and constituency matters. Key ministerial involvement includes Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay, who holds the portfolio for the welfare of differently abled persons, alongside K. Vignesh for Prohibition and Excise, K. Jagdishwari for Social Welfare and Women’s Rights, and R. Vinod for Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare.

Legislators from both the ruling and opposition parties are expected to debate a range of critical issues, including welfare assistance for persons with disabilities, excise policy enforcement, women’s safety, social security programs, and various farmer support measures.
