New Indian ExpressTHIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Climate resilience considering the impact of climate change on agriculture and disaster events will be given focus in the state budget for the 2025-26 fiscal, which would be presented in the assembly in the second week of February, most probably on February 7. A source privy to the budget preparation said there will not be a cut in the annual plan size despite the plan expenditure for the current fiscal falling short of target.

Of this, the state plan outlay is Rs 21,838 crore, central share of CSS is Rs 8,516.91 crore and the LSGI plan outlay is Rs 8,532 crore.
