Karnataka's 15th legislative assembly will begin its first session on
July 2 and the JD-S-Congress coalition government's maiden budget will
be presented on July 5, said a cabinet minister on Friday.
"The
state cabinet has decided to hold a 10-day session of the legislature
from July 2, with Governor Vajubhai Vala's address to the members of the
assembly and council jointly," Parliamentary Affairs Minister Krishna
Byre Gowda told reporters.
Though the assembly met twice last
month for the floor test of the three-day BJP government on May 19 and
of the coalition government on May 25, the house was adjourned on the
same day on both the occasions.
"Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy
(who holds the finance portfolio) will present a full-fledged budget of
the new government on July 5," Gowda said.
"The cabinet meeting
also directed the state departments to complete their annual transfers
by July-end and the number of officials posted to other places should
not exceed more than four per cent of the respective department's
strength," he said.
Among the major decisions taken at the
two-hour meeting held at the state secretariat and chaired by
Kumaraswamy are sanctioning Rs 655 crore crop insurance to farmers
across the state under the Central government's 'Pradhan Mantri Fasal
Bima Yojana' for the pre-monsoon and post-monsoon period of this fiscal.
The
state government will give Rs 300 to every student in state-run schools
reading in Class 1 to 10 for buying an additional uniform during this
academic year. The Education Department will be given Rs 115.8 crore for
the scheme.
The cabinet has agreed to provide Rs 460 crore to
the Higher Education Department for improving the quality of education
in the state-run pre-university and under graduate colleges, under the
centrally-funded 'Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan' scheme.
The
cabinet has also extended the moratorium period by 10 years on the
repayment of Rs 333.5-crore loan given to Bangalore International
Airport Ltd (BIAL) for expanding its facilities, including the second
runway and second arrival and departure terminals.
