CHANDIGARH STATE AIDS CONTROL SOCIETY Recruitment 2026: Apply for 4 Contractual Posts including Deputy Director (SI)

This recruitment is ideally suited for public health professionals, graduates, and post-graduates who possess specific experience in HIV/AIDS programs, surveillance, research, M&E, store management, or counseling. Candidates with strong computer proficiency and local language knowledge (Hindi/Punjabi) are highly preferred. It offers a valuable opportunity for those seeking contractual engagement within the public health sector in Chandigarh, particularly individuals committed to AIDS control initiatives. HIV-positive individuals are explicitly encouraged to apply for the ICTC Counselor post.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should avoid these positions as they are strictly contractual and year-to-year renewable. Those who do not meet the precise educational qualifications and mandatory experience detailed for each role, especially in public health/HIV/AIDS-related fields, will not be considered. Aspirants looking for large-scale recruitment drives may find the limited number of vacancies (4 posts) less appealing.

Working with a State AIDS Control Society provides a direct and impactful opportunity to contribute to vital public health initiatives under the national framework guided by NACO. While these are contractual roles, they offer significant hands-on experience in a critical social and health sector. However, they may not offer the typical long-term career progression, stability, or broad institutional prestige associated with permanent central or state government positions. The focus is on specialized contributions rather than extensive hierarchical advancement.
