The session primarily serves the constitutional obligation of convening the assembly once every six months. The Budget session of the Puducherry Assembly was adjourned sine die on August 14, 2024, and therefore convening it by February 14 is necessary. Addressing media, the Speaker said that the agenda for the meeting includes supplementary demand for grants for 2024-2025 and tabling of papers and report of Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG).
