The District Health Society, Godda (Jharkhand), under the National Health Mission (NHM), has released a fresh contract-based recruitment notification — Advertisement No. 01/2026 — inviting applications for 64 vacancies across 33 different posts in various health institutions and the District Hospital of Godda district.
Among these, Staff Nurse is one of the largest and most sought-after categories, with 9 posts under SNCU and 2 more under UPHC Mahagama, making it a total of 11 Staff Nurse vacancies within this drive.
This recruitment covers a wide mix of paramedical, nursing, technical and counselling positions under national health programmes such as RNTCP (TB control), RBSK (child health screening), NPHCE (elderly care), NMHP (mental health), IDSP (disease surveillance), NPCDCS and MTC — reflecting how broad NHM’s district-level health workforce actually is.
Online applications opened on 6 August 2026 and will close on 30 August 2026, through the Jharkhand government’s official recruitment portal.
Notably, the District Health Society, Godda issued a corrigendum (Shuddhi Patra-01) on 31 July 2026, revising the essential qualification and marking scheme for the District Cold Chain Handler post — candidates interested in that specific post should note the updated eligibility criteria detailed below, which supersedes the originally published requirement.
This article gives you the complete post-wise vacancy list with salary, the revised eligibility for Cold Chain Handler, age limit, application fee, the full marking-scheme-based selection process (a key feature of this recruitment — many posts have no separate written exam if applications are limited), and the step-by-step application process.
