SID is a division under the Ministry of Planning (not a standalone ministry); parent_id_ref is 'Ministry of Planning'. SID's primary operational arm is the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS), which is the national statistical office mandated by the Statistics Act 2013. SID was originally established as the Statistics Division in July 1975, abolished in 2002, recreated in 2010, and renamed to its current form in 2012; established_year is set to 2012 (the year of the current nomenclature). Secretary Aleya Akter (10th BCS Administration Cadre, 1991; MSc Pharmacology University of Dhaka; MBA University of Canberra) took office 25 February 2025, confirmed on the SID official website. No 'HIES 2025' release exists: HIES follows a five-year cycle and the most recent final report is HIES 2022 (released March 2024), showing national poverty rate 18.7% (down from 24.3% in 2016) and Gini coefficient 0.499. A 'Census 2026' is not confirmed in searched sources; the most recent Population and Housing Census was in 2022 (preliminary August 2022, final National Report November 2023). QLFS releases: the most recent available is Q3 2024 (July-September), uploaded January 2025. Activity score 7 reflects regular monthly CPI publication, a significant ICT survey release with new district-level data, and a high-profile political commitment to SID reorganisation -- offset by no major landmark survey release in the 90-day window. annual_budget_bdt is null: SID budget is embedded in the Ministry of Planning envelope and not separately published in primary sources reviewed. Verification based on 2+ primary sources for all factual claims.
