Guwahati: The Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council (KAAC) on Monday unveiled its financial plan for 2026–27, allocating Rs 1,678.55 crore for development works covering infrastructure, education, sports and culture across Assam’s Karbi Anglong and West Karbi Anglong.
The Budget was introduced during the Council’s Budget Session in Diphu, which began on August 3 and is scheduled to end on August 4.
Chief Executive Member (CEM) Tuliram Ronghang presented the financial statement before the House in a sitting presided over by KAAC Speaker Raju Tisso. Prepared under the State Own Priority Development (SOPD) scheme, the Budget amounts to Rs 1,678 crore, 55 lakh and 11 thousand.
Ronghang said the proposed allocations are intended to promote overall development in Karbi Anglong and West Karbi Anglong. He said emphasis has been placed on expanding infrastructure, improving educational institutions, strengthening sports facilities and supporting cultural activities.
The financial proposals were placed before the House without any opposition, as members unanimously backed the Budget during the session.
After the proceedings, Ronghang told reporters that the Budget had been prepared without reducing any allocations and expressed confidence that it would support ongoing development programmes across the autonomous council area.
He added that the Council has sought higher financial support from the Assam government to take up more development projects in the region.
The Budget Session will continue until August 4, during which members are expected to examine the financial proposals and discuss the Council’s development plans.
