The Bihar state government has officially released a major recruitment notification for the position of Home Guard, announcing a total of 15,000 vacancies across the state. The applications are being accepted online through the dedicated portal at onlinebhg.bihar.gov.in, and eligible candidates are encouraged to apply within the stipulated timeframe.
Home Guard is a voluntary organization under the Ministry of Home Affairs that plays a crucial role in maintaining internal security and assisting regular police forces during emergencies, natural disasters, and law-and-order situations. The Bihar Home Guard force has been expanding its manpower in recent years to better address the growing security demands across both urban and rural areas of the state.
The recruitment drive for 15,000 posts represents one of the largest Home Guard recruitment exercises undertaken by the state. Candidates from all districts of Bihar are eligible to apply, and the selection process will likely involve a written examination followed by physical efficiency tests and document verification, as per standard Home Guard recruitment procedures across India.
Official guidelines typically require applicants to be between the ages of 18 and 40 years and hold at least a 10th or 12th-grade pass certificate, though exact educational and age criteria will be specified in the detailed notification. Reserved category benefits will be applicable as per Bihar state government rules for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes, and economically weaker sections.
The Bihar government has emphasized that the recruitment aims to improve grassroots-level security infrastructure and create substantial employment avenues for unemployed youth. Interested and eligible candidates are advised to visit the official website regularly for updates on exam dates, admit card releases, and further procedural details.
