Angul Forest Division 2026 Recruitment: Wildlife Veterinary Officer - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideally suited for BVSc & A.H graduates, preferably with an MVSc/PhD and practical experience in wildlife management, especially concerning elephants and large herbivores. Candidates must be willing to reside in Angul, Odisha, and be prepared for fieldwork in challenging forest environments. This is a unique opportunity for professionals passionate about wildlife conservation and veterinary care.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a purely contractual position with an initial engagement of six months. Those unwilling to reside in Angul or candidates without a foundational veterinary degree (BVSc & A.H) will not meet the eligibility criteria. The role requires active movement in forest areas, so individuals preferring a desk-bound job should avoid applying.

This specialized contractual role within the Angul Forest Division, under the Government of Odisha, offers direct involvement in critical wildlife healthcare and conservation efforts. While not a permanent position, it provides invaluable experience in a niche and impactful area of environmental protection and public service. Long-term growth could involve securing similar or higher-level positions in state or central forest/wildlife departments, building a strong reputation in the field of wildlife veterinary science.
