Consultant, Project Reviewer & Coordinator

This role is ideal for highly qualified individuals holding a Master's degree in fields such as Disaster Management, Computer Applications (MCA), Data Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Economics, GIS, Public Policy, Social Sciences, or Environmental Science. Candidates must possess a minimum of 3 years of post-qualification experience in a relevant field, coupled with familiarity in working with Ministries and Departments of the Government of India and States/UTs. Strong analytical, reporting, documentation, data collection, and coordination skills, along with proficiency in English and Hindi, are essential. It suits professionals seeking a challenging, full-time contractual engagement in disaster management policy and coordination within a premier government body, provided they are not over 40 years of age (or 62 for retired government employees).

Individuals lacking the specified Master's degree or with less than 3 years of relevant post-qualification experience should not apply. Those seeking permanent government employment will find this contractual, one-year role (with no extension beyond 65 years of age) unsuitable. Candidates without experience in government sector interactions or those lacking robust analytical and coordination abilities will face difficulties. Applicants exceeding the age limit of 40 years (unless a retired government employee meeting specific criteria) are not eligible. Additionally, candidates unable to commit to a full-time engagement without other assignments should refrain from applying.

The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) is India's apex institution for disaster management, offering a highly prestigious work environment. This role provides significant exposure to national-level policy formulation, program review, and coordination with various central and state government bodies. While contractual, the position offers invaluable experience and extensive networking opportunities within a critical domain of governance, significantly enhancing career prospects in disaster management, public policy, and high-level government consultancy.
