Press coverage
Named in 1 article since June 2022; number 135 among bodies in the last 12 months.
0 articles from October 2025 to September 2026, against 0 in the 12 months before.
Months with an article: June 2022 (1 article of 1,099).
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.

Instrument named on the body's own page1

We have not yet found who leads this body in a source we can cite.
What each source budgets for the year: a gross demand for grants, an allocation, or a state-owned enterprise's own budget (income, expenditure, net profit or deficit). The tag on each line says which. None of it is spending.

Budget line through the parent body10
Counted through a parent: this body has no budget line of its own, so readiness counts the nearest ancestor's own line (registry parent, or the Division its Allocation of Business entry or agency list names, or the parent two readers agreed). The line is the parent's budget, not this body's, and not spending.
