National CAMPA Multi-Post Recruitment 2026: Overview

The National Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority (National CAMPA) is building up its office in New Delhi with ten different administrative, accounts, secretarial, forestry and legal posts. National CAMPA is a statutory body under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), set up under the Compensatory Afforestation Fund Act, 2016, and it has been running since 30 September 2018. It manages the money that project developers pay when forest land is diverted, and it guides the State CAMPA authorities on how that money is spent on afforestation.
