department
The Department of Jute is focused on stabilizing the raw jute market and managing the transition of state-owned mills to private management.
The Minister of Textiles and Jute stated that the Department of Jute is monitoring the market to stabilize raw jute prices.
The Department of Jute issued a job circular for the recruitment of 44 personnel.
The online application process for 44 vacant positions at the Department of Jute commenced.
The Ministry of Textiles and Jute briefed Parliament on initiatives to revive state-owned jute mills via public-private partnerships.
The entity is officially called 'Directorate General of Jute' (পাট অধিদপ্তর) in Bangla government sources and on the National Web Portal; the slug and English label 'Department of Jute' follow common English-language press usage and the parent ministry's own English pages. Established 1978 when the Ministry of Textiles and Ministry of Jute were merged (Wikipedia; motj.gov.bd); a Jute Board had existed since 1953 under central government. The current Director General's name was not retrievable from publicly available sources as of 2026-05-17; dgjute.gov.bd staff list is in Bangla only and the name could not be independently cross-verified with a second English-language source -- left null to avoid unverified data. The FY2025-26 budget figure (Tk 4.80 billion) is for the entire Ministry of Textiles and Jute, not the department alone; no disaggregated departmental figure was found. verification_status = 'partial' because (1) Director General name unverifiable from 2+ English sources, (2) department-specific budget line not publicly disaggregated, and (3) sanctioned staff count not publicly available. All four 90-day topic areas (BJMC mill privatisation, BJMC oversight, jute price support, raw jute export ban) are covered by verified events above.
