Provenance & notes
Formed end of 1975 with first development intervention in 1976; registered with the Directorate of Social Welfare in 1977. Founder Executive Director Md. Azadul Kabir Arzoo died 24 Jan 2026; the official site states a successor took over 26 Jan 2026 but does not name them, so chief_executive is left null. The 'At a glance' page showed placeholder values for branch/staff/member counts, so those are null. Secondary sources cite ~53 districts and ~950,000 served but the official site does not confirm these figures, so coverage and members left null.
