CRITICAL NAME CHANGE: The university was renamed from 'Sheikh Hasina University, Netrokona' to 'Netrokona University' (নেত্রকোণা বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়) via presidential ordinance gazetted 2025-02-13, under the interim government of Muhammad Yunus. The slug 'sheikh-hasina-university' is retained as the canonical file identifier for continuity, but name_en reflects the current official name. Original name (2018-2025): Sheikh Hasina University. student_count 535 and faculty_count 17 are from March 2024 Wikipedia-cited figures; no more recent official count found. annual_budget_bdt 74,000,000 = Tk 7.40 crore (2024-25), from Bangla Wikipedia citing UGC budget allocation; this is a small public university budget reflecting early-stage operations. vc_since 2024-10-23 sourced from Bangla Wikipedia; independently corroborated by VC profile link at juniv.edu/public/teachers/munim (Prof Munim's Jahangirnagar University faculty page). Campus: 500 acres (200 ha) acquired in Netrokona Sadar; permanent campus construction (ECNEC-approved Tk 2,637 crore project, 44 packages) was significantly behind schedule as of 2021 (TBS, October 2021) and the university operates from a temporary Technical Training Centre campus. pro_vice_chancellor, treasurer, and registrar fields are null: these positions either do not exist or the incumbents are unverifiable from public sources for this small institution. ugc_recognized=true confirmed by UGC university listing at ugc-universities.gov.bd/university-detail/204. verification_status set to 'partial': VC name and appointment date, student/faculty counts, budget, and renaming are verified from 2+ sources; treasurer/registrar/pro-VC and detailed 2026 events are unverifiable. 90-day window (2026-02-17 to 2026-05-18): no press coverage of specific events within this window found; notable_events include the renaming and admission events that fall outside/at the boundary of the window but are the most significant recent events. Legal basis field records both the original 2018 act and the 2025 ordinance amendment.
