The Bihar Rural Livelihoods Society (BRS), commonly known as Bihar Jeevika, has issued a fresh recruitment notification for the post of Community Health Officer (CHO), offering 2,747 positions across the state. The online application process has been activated on the official Jeevika portal at brlps.in, and eligible candidates are being encouraged to submit their forms before the closing date.
Community Health Officers play a critical role in India's public health infrastructure, particularly in rural areas. Appointed under the National Health Mission, CHOs serve as frontline healthcare functionaries at primary health centres and sub-centres. Their responsibilities include providing basic curative and preventive care, managing maternal and child health programmes, overseeing vaccination drives, and coordinating with accredited social health activists (ASHAs) and other community health workers. The Bihar government's decision to fill over 2,700 CHO vacancies is seen as a significant step toward strengthening healthcare delivery in underserved districts.
Candidates wishing to apply must meet the eligibility criteria notified by Bihar Jeevika, which typically includes a relevant educational qualification such as a nursing diploma or degree, along with age limits prescribed under state service rules. Applicants are required to complete the online form on brlps.in, upload the necessary documents, and pay the applicable application fee, if any. Details regarding the exact cutoff dates, fee structure, and category-wise seat allocation are expected to be available on the official website.
This recruitment drive comes at a time when Bihar has been actively expanding its community health workforce to bridge gaps in rural healthcare access. With thousands of positions opened, the notification is likely to attract a large number of applicants from across the state, particularly among young graduates seeking stable government employment in the health sector.
