ICAR-CRRI Field Assistant Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for individuals with a matriculation certificate, complemented either by a +2 vocational qualification in agriculture or two years of practical field experience. Candidates should be seeking a short-term, project-based opportunity in agricultural research, specifically involving data collection and farm machinery operation. It particularly suits local applicants from Cuttack, Odisha, who are keen to gain experience in a central government research institution.

Those aspiring for permanent employment or higher-paying positions should not consider this role, as it is a consolidated, temporary position with limited tenure and a single vacancy. Individuals lacking the specified educational background or relevant agricultural experience will not be eligible. Furthermore, no TA/DA will be provided for the interview, which might be a barrier for outstation candidates.

ICAR-CRRI is a highly reputable Central Government research institute under the Ministry of Agriculture. While this particular Field Assistant role is temporary and entry-level, it offers invaluable exposure to significant agricultural research projects and working within a government research framework. It can serve as an excellent stepping stone for freshers or those looking to gain initial experience, though direct long-term career progression within this specific co-terminus project is not offered.
