Jharkhand State Horticulture Promotion Society (JSHPS) has advertised 637 contractual posts under Advertisement No. 01/2026. The vacancies cover Deputy Director, State Program Manager, District Program Manager, Thematic Expert, Accountant, Assistant-cum-Data Entry Operator and other positions at state, district and block levels.

The online application window opens on 4 November 2026 and closes on 4 December 2026 at 3:00 PM. Candidates must also submit a printed application form along with supporting documents by 14 December 2026 at 5:00 PM. The selection or interview date is yet to be announced.
Eligibility criteria vary by post, with senior roles requiring postgraduate degrees in horticulture or agriculture and up to 10 years of experience. The official notification and application portal are available at recruitment.jharkhand.gov.in.
The 637 vacancies are spread thinly across block and district levels, with 264 Block Program Manager and 264 Block Assistant-cum-Data Entry Operator posts making up the bulk. That places the heaviest demand on candidates willing to work at the village-level office, while headquarters and district roles remain limited. The two-step application process, requiring both online submission and a hard-copy delivery within ten days, adds a logistical hurdle that could discourage applicants from remote areas. The notice does not specify salary bands or the duration of the contract, leaving the terms of employment open. The interview date is still to be announced, so the actual recruitment timeline remains uncertain for candidates.
