The body's own budget line1
The body's own budget position as the budget route serves it: budget_lines (Budget Speech Table-5 or Demands for Grants ministry lines), the Demands-for-Grants institutional units served as this body, the units printed under the ministry or division it stands for, and the reviewed MoF division crosswalk. Allocations are budgets, not spending.

Press coverage
Named in 1 article since September 2026; number 135 among bodies in the last 12 months.
0 articles from October 2025 to September 2026, against 0 in the 12 months before.
The total counts every outlet in the corpus. The 12-month comparison, shares and spikes use The Daily Star (business pages before 2026) and Prothom Alo English from 2018, so they measure attention within that corpus, not the whole press. Company press releases are left out throughout. A spike is a month at least three standard deviations above the body's previous 24 months. Bodies are matched by name or acronym in the headline and summary.
Decision points whose printed heading ties them to the body (link decided by), for this body and the bodies above it in the registry; each is an item of ALLOCATION OF BUSINESS AMONG THE DIFFERENT MINISTRIES AND DIVISIONS (Schedule I of the Rules of Business, 1996) (Revised up to February 2024).
