Work Culture & Environment

Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

The Yoga Therapist at ALRARI Chennai (V.H.S. Hospital Campus, Taramani) works directly within a clinical research framework under the Ministry of Ayush. The role involves administering daily, structured therapeutic yoga sessions to research patients suffering from musculoskeletal ailments, observing protocol compliance, and collaborating closely with Ayurvedic Research Officers and medical staff. Working hours align with OPD hospital timings in a focused, scientific setting.

Posting & Transfer Policy

Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.

The appointment is strictly contractual for an initial period of approximately 9 months or until completion of the study, co-terminus with the multicentric project. The posting is based entirely at ALRARI Chennai with no transfer liability. The engagement does not confer any entitlement for regularization or permanent cadre absorption.

Career & Promotion Ladder

Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.

Because this post is funded under a time-bound research project, there is no departmental promotion hierarchy within the project tenure. However, hands-on clinical research experience gained in a prestigious CCRAS central institute significantly bolsters a candidate's credentials when applying for permanent Yoga Therapist and Instructor posts in AIIMS, ESIC, CCRYN, MDNIY, and State AYUSH health missions.
