DAO Pakur Crop Protector Recruitment 2026: Overview

District Agriculture Office, Pakur (DAO Pakur) is engaging Crop Protectors for the state crop-protection programme under Jharkhand’s Department of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Cooperation. You would support plant-protection work through the district’s Plant Protection Centres. The engagement is based on an honorarium and is tied to local agricultural work.

The notice names centres in Pakur, Hiranpur, Maheshpur, Littipara, Amrapara and Pakuria. These are locations within Pakur district, and the corrected notice makes clear that this recruitment belongs to Pakur.

Service Conditions and Caveats

  • Tenure: The engagement lasts eleven months or until a regular appointment is made, whichever happens first. It does not give you an automatic right to regular appointment, permanent status or the service benefits of a regular government employee.
  • Local residence: You must be a resident of Pakur district. The recruitment follows the district reservation roster and the conditions set out in the notice.
  • Place preference: The office will consider your home block and the preferences entered in your form when assigning a centre or sub-centre. Your preference does not guarantee a particular placement; the authority can make or change an allocation according to administrative needs.
  • Joining: You must join within the period set by the authority. If you do not, your selection lapses and the office may fill the opening from the waiting list.
  • Continuation: The engagement may end when a regular appointment is made, the sanctioned post ceases to exist, or administrative needs change. Inclusion in the selection list does not itself guarantee appointment.
  • Information accuracy: You are responsible for the details in your form. False information, hidden facts or forged certificates can lead to cancellation even after selection and further action under the applicable rules.
  • Administrative changes: The authority can change allocations or recruitment arrangements, or postpone or cancel the process. Such a change does not create a right to appointment or compensation.
  • Official updates: Check the district’s published announcements for further instructions. The department does not take responsibility for promises made by unauthorised people.

Application Submission Notes

You can deliver your application in person or send it by post to District Agriculture Office, Joint Agriculture Building, Block Campus, Pakur, PIN 816107. The stated receipt cut-off is 5:00 p.m.; applications received after the deadline will not be accepted.

Corrigenda and Notices

  • Corrigendum dated 6 October 2026: Letter 636 corrects the district name printed as Ranchi in the advertisement to Pakur. The office confirms that the remaining clauses and conditions stay unchanged.
