Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) PMU Recruitment 2026 - 8 Posts

The Centre for Management Development (CMD), an autonomous institution under the Government of Kerala, is recruiting on behalf of the Project Management Unit (PMU) of the Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) — a statutory body that manages more than 1,250 temples across southern Kerala. Following directions from the Kerala High Court, TDB is carrying out a complete digital transformation of its administrative, financial and operational systems, with Kerala State IT Infrastructure Limited (KITFRA) acting as technical consultant. These are contract positions for an initial period of 2 years (or until the project ends, whichever is earlier) — a good option if you want hands-on experience in a government digital transformation project. TDB itself is a statutory body constituted under the Travancore-Cochin Hindu Religious Institutions Act, and this dedicated PMU is a first step toward moving the Board's administrative, financial and temple-management processes online. Only Indian citizens can apply for these posts.
