1938 – Proceedings Of The Travancore Sri Chitra State Council Official Report Third Session Volume XII (No. I to VIII)
The Proceedings of the Travancore Sri Chitra State Council (Official Report), dated 23rd July 1938 (8th Karkatakam 1113), documents the discussions and official records of the Second Council during its Third Session. This particular volume (Vol. XII – No. I to VIII) primarily focuses on financial matters concerning the state of Travancore.
The report opens with the Financial Secretary’s speech introducing the budget for the year 1114 (1939) in the Malayalam Era, highlighting revenue expectations, expenditure plans, and priorities for administrative and developmental needs. Following this, the Dewan of Travancore presented a comprehensive statement, elaborating on the fiscal policy, governance challenges, and the council’s economic vision.
The document not only reflects the financial planning and priorities of the Travancore state during the late 1930s but also provides valuable insights into the functioning of the legislative council under Sri Chitra Thirunal’s reign. It serves as a crucial historical source for understanding the socio-economic conditions, political structures, and administrative mechanisms of princely Travancore.
