Sector Expert, Economics, Sector Expert, Agriculture & Other Posts

This recruitment is ideal for experienced professionals holding Master's or Bachelor's degrees in specialized fields such as Economics, Agriculture, IT, Management, or Social Sciences, who possess strong leadership, project management, and data analysis capabilities. Candidates with a proven track record of contributing to state development initiatives and those with prior experience in government or international organizations are particularly well-suited for these contractual roles. A drive to work on policy-level implementation and stakeholder engagement for a minimum of 2-8 years (depending on the specific post) is essential.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these are purely contractual positions. Fresh graduates or those without the specified minimum experience (ranging from 2 to 8 years depending on the role) will find themselves ineligible. Lack of a relevant post-graduate qualification for Sector Expert or Specialist roles, or a Bachelor's degree for Assistant roles, combined with insufficient field experience in the respective sectors, will also be a dealbreaker.

Operating under the Government of Manipur's State Support Mission, these roles offer a significant opportunity to contribute to state-level policy and program implementation, providing substantial public sector impact. The involvement of IIM Shillong as the Lead Institution further enhances the profile of these positions, suggesting a focus on strategic planning and high-quality outcomes. While contractual, these roles offer valuable experience in governance, project management, and data analytics within a state framework, which can significantly boost professional prestige and future career prospects in the development sector.
