NITI Aayog Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy for Library and Information Officer

This role is most suitable for experienced library and information science professionals holding a Master's degree and at least five years of professional experience in government, autonomous, PSU, or recognized research/educational institutions. Candidates already serving in Central/State Government departments, seeking a deputation or promotion opportunity, will find this a valuable progression. A diploma in computer applications and experience in computerizing library activities are highly desirable.

Individuals who do not possess a Master's degree in Library Science or Library and Information Science, or lack the mandatory five years of professional experience, should not apply. This notification specifically targets deputation (including short-term contract) or promotion; direct recruitment applicants might not find this suitable. The maximum age limit of 56 years on the closing date of application is also a critical factor.

NITI Aayog, a premier policy 'think tank' of the Government of India, offers significant institutional prestige and a chance to contribute to national policy-making from an information management perspective. Although it's a single vacancy, it represents a high-level, stable central government opportunity, enhancing career prospects for experienced professionals in a key governmental body.
