RD PRIs ULBs Young Professional Recruitment 2026

RD PRIs ULBs Young Professional Recruitment 2026: Overview

The Directorate of Rural Development, Panchayati Raj Institutions and Urban Local Bodies, Andaman and Nicobar Administration is engaging a Young Professional for state-level work under the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY). The role is based at the Directorate in Sri Vijaya Puram and supports the State Mission Director in programme planning, monitoring and knowledge work for the rural-skills scheme. It is a useful opening if your postgraduate training is backed by an interest in public programmes, evidence-based review and coordination with implementation teams.

This is not a routine clerical assignment. You will help the directorate strengthen its programme support system, develop technical-assistance material and turn performance information into practical inputs for decision-makers. The work also includes strategic communication, capacity-building support, impact studies and small pilots, so you should be comfortable moving between data review, written outputs and coordination with different stakeholders.

The Young Professional reports to the State Mission Director, DDU-GKY-ANIRLM and Director of Rural Development and Panchayat. That reporting line places the post close to state-level programme management rather than at an individual block office. Your work may be used to review key performance indicators, identify gaps in delivery and shape special or innovative interventions under the scheme.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Tenure: the engagement is purely contractual for 11 months.
• Performance: progression within the engagement is linked to the Performance Management System and the terms approved for the scheme.
• Leave: leave accrues after each completed month; it is not encashable, though it may be surrendered against the notice period. Unapproved leave is treated as absence.
• Working hours: you may need to work beyond normal office hours on some days, with no separate payment for the additional time.
• Exit terms: either side is subject to a one-month notice arrangement or the equivalent salary in lieu, as described in the notice.
• Facilities: accommodation is not provided, and no TA or DA is paid for attending the interview.
• Accuracy: incorrect or hidden information can cancel your candidature and may also lead to termination after engagement.

The contract gives the Directorate the right to end the engagement under its stated notice terms. Before applying, check that you can work from Sri Vijaya Puram, manage occasional extended hours and meet the conditions attached to a state-level scheme assignment.
