The National Health Systems Resource Centre (NHSRC), New Delhi, has invited applications for the post of Technical Officer (PMDT) in the Central TB Division (CTD), Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW). The post is offered purely on a contractual basis — it is not a permanent government job. MBBS graduates can apply online on the NHSRC website, nhsrcindia.org, by 30 November 2026. The pay is Rs 90,000 to Rs 1,30,000 per month, and the maximum age is 65 years.
PMDT stands for Programmatic Management of Drug Resistant TB. The post supports the National TB Elimination Programme (NTEP) through work on DR-TB centres, universal DST (drug susceptibility testing) and the supply chain of second-line drugs.
Important note: the Terms of Reference (ToR) hosted on the NHSRC website still prints the old deadline “29-Nov-2019” and the old instruction to email the application form to [email protected] — the ToR text is re-used across cycles. For the current recruitment, the last date is 30 November 2026 and applications are online only, as the current NHSRC listing states. Confirm the date and application mode on nhsrcindia.org before applying.
