Asato Maa Sad-Gamaya Tamaso Maa Jyotir-Gamaya Mrytonmamritang Gamayeti Hon’ble Speaker Sir, By chanting the same sacred verse, last time, I stood before you on 26th of July 2016 for presenting the State Budget of 2016-17. After this august House passed the budget, the Assam Appropriation (No.IV) Act, 2016 was published in the Gazette on 24th of August 2016. It means that exactly after 5 months 13 days after notification of the last budget, I, now rise to present the Annual Financial Statement containing Receipts and Expenditure for the whole year of 2017-18. 1. Sir, I mentioned in my last budget speech that this duty of presentation of budget was solemnly carried out on the basis of three vital teachings from the Upanishads: Reality, Knowledge and Selflessness. Our dynamic and progressive leader, Shri Sarbananda Sonowal, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Assam, too believes in these principles, in letter and spirit. Before I begin my speech, I would like to reiterate that the endeavour of our Government is to serve the 3.25 crore people of Assam. Our endeavour is to mitigate their plight and take them to newer heights of development. We are committed to the State of Assam which is our motherland. On this occasion, I recall a great poem of Padmashri Nalini Bala Devi expressing the deepest (1) gratitude to our motherland. I would recite two stanzas from this poem : While doing so, I also salute this great land and bow before the people of the State: Œ˜ø˘À˘± õ∂Ô˜ ‰¬fl≈¡ ŒÓ¬±˜±1 Œfl¡±˘±ÀÓ¬ ’±˝◊√√ Ê√Ú˜1 ’±ø√˜ ¬Û≈ª±Ó¬, ˜≈ø√˜ ’±Àfl¡Ã ‰¬fl≈¡ ŒÓ¬±˜±1 Œfl¡±˘±ÀÓ¬ q˝◊√√ Ê√œªÚ1 Œ˙¯∏ ¸øg˚˛±Ó¬º ˜1±1 ø¬ÛÂ√ÀÓ¬± Œ˚Ú ¬Û±›“ø˝√√ ’±Àfl¡Ã ͬ±˝◊√√ Œ‰¬ÀÚ˝√√1 ˙œÓ¬˘œ Œfl¡±˘±Ó¬, ˆ¬±·1n∏ª± ’±R±˝◊√√ Œ˙¯∏1 øÊ√1øÌ ∆˘ øÊ√1±¬ıø˝√√ ŒÓ¬±˜±1 Â√±˚˛±Ó¬º 2.
