National Health Mission (NHM) Madhya Pradesh Block Program Manager Recruitment 2026 - 52 Posts

National Health Mission (NHM) Madhya Pradesh has released a notification for 52 Block Program Manager posts, known locally as Vikaskhand Karyakram Prabandhak, to strengthen health programme management at the block level across the state. A block is an administrative sub-division within a district, and each Block Program Manager is expected to oversee the planning, monitoring and reporting of health programmes for their assigned block. Block Program Managers act as a key link between the district health administration and block-level health facilities, helping implement government health schemes efficiently on the ground. 3 of the 52 posts are reserved for PwBD (Persons with Benchmark Disabilities) candidates, and vacancies are further split between open and female categories in every reservation group. This is a good opportunity for MBA holders and health management graduates who want to build a career in public health administration with the state government.

• UR (Unreserved): 15 posts (10 Open + 5 Female)
• OBC: 14 posts (9 Open + 5 Female)
• ST: 10 posts (6 Open + 4 Female)
• SC: 8 posts (5 Open + 3 Female)
• EWS: 5 posts (3 Open + 2 Female)

Out of these 52 total posts, 3 vacancies are specifically reserved for candidates with benchmark disabilities. If you belong to a reserved category, make sure you have the required category certificate ready at the time of document verification.

Who Can Apply?

• Qualification: MBA in any subject, OR Master of Public Health (MPH)/Hospital Management/Administration/Health Care Management, OR PG Diploma in Hospital Management/Administration/Health Care Management/Business Administration (PGDBA) along with a 1-year degree/diploma in Computers
• Experience: You need at least 2 years' experience in the health sector or a public health programme, with a government or non-government organization

In short, you need a management or public health qualification combined with some background in computers and at least 2 years of relevant work experience in healthcare or a public health programme. This role suits candidates who understand both healthcare delivery and administrative or managerial work at the same time. Your computer qualification can be a 1-year degree or diploma — a standalone short-term certificate course is not treated as sufficient by itself.

Age Limit

• You should be between 21 and 40 years old as on 1 January 2026.
• Age Relaxation: SC, ST, OBC, female and PwBD candidates get up to 5 years relaxation over the maximum age limit.

Application Fee

• You need to pay the MPOnline portal charge plus applicable GST to submit your application. The exact fee amount is not specified in the notification — check the MPOnline portal at the time of applying. This portal charge is the standard processing fee that MPOnline collects for all recruitment forms submitted through its platform, in addition to any category-based examination fee.

Selection Process

The selection will be done through a written exam:

1. Computer Based Test (CBT): The test will have 100 questions for 100 marks, with 1 mark awarded per question. There is no negative marking, so you should attempt every question.

Minimum Qualifying Marks: You need to score at least 40% if you are from the UR category, 36% for EWS, 35% for OBC, and 30% for SC/ST candidates to qualify. Candidates who clear the minimum qualifying marks for their category will be considered for the final merit list, ranked by their score in the Computer Based Test.
