Sports Authority of India (SAI) Recruitment 2026: Apply for 01 Assistant Director (Official Language) Vacancy

This role is ideally suited for seasoned government officers currently working in Hindi Cadre within Central/State Governments or Union Territory Administrations. Candidates must possess a Master's degree with a strong background in Hindi and English, coupled with at least three years of experience in translation, terminology work, teaching, or research in these languages. Individuals holding an analogous post or having 3 years of regular service in Pay Level-7 are particularly well-suited. The position demands a commitment to promoting the Official Language within a dynamic sports administration environment, requiring strong linguistic skills and a methodical approach to administrative tasks.

This is strictly a deputation post, not open for direct recruitment or freshers. Individuals who do not meet the specific government service and experience requirements in Hindi/English translation/teaching or those without a relevant Master's degree should not apply. The age limit of 56 years as of the application opening date is also a firm criterion. Those seeking a high-volume recruitment drive should note this is a single-vacancy position.

It offers stability and career progression for experienced government personnel.
