The Budget session of the Tamil Nadu Assembly is scheduled to begin on August 4 with Finance Minister O Pannerselvam all set to present the budget for 2011-12, the first since the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam returned to power in the State.

In an official release on Sunday, Assembly Secretary A M P Jamaludeen said Speaker D Jayakumar had convened the session of the State Assembly for presentation of the Budget.

The annual financial statement is set to make allocations for free laptops, mixies and grinders.
