National Productivity Council (NPC) Project Advisor (Statistician) Recruitment 2026 - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideally suited for highly experienced statisticians holding a Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant statistical field, with a substantial career history of at least 20 years. The ideal candidate will possess deep expertise in the Indian statistical system, including management, methodology, and policy formulation. Preference will be given to professionals with prior experience in government ministries (like MoSPI) or those from the ISS cadre (Level-14 & above), who are prepared to engage in high-level advisory and research work on a contractual basis.

Individuals lacking a minimum of 20 years of specific work experience in statistical system management, especially within a government or public sector context, should not apply. This is a contractual position, so candidates seeking permanent government employment will find this opportunity unsuitable. The role demands significant prior experience and specific academic qualifications in statistics.

Working with the National Productivity Council, an autonomous body under a key Ministry, offers a prestigious platform for seasoned professionals to contribute significantly to national productivity and socio-economic development. While contractual, the position involves influencing policy-level changes and leading organizational studies, offering considerable scope for professional impact and visibility within the national statistical landscape.
