The Karnataka state government has once again stepped up its hiring efforts, announcing two significant recruitment drives that together offer thousands of employment opportunities across the state. The first notification pertains to the recruitment of Land Surveyors, while the second concerns Community Health Officers (CHOs) under the National Health Mission (NHM) Karnataka. Together, these drives represent one of the largest public sector recruitment pushes in recent years for the southern state.
Under the Land Surveyor recruitment, approximately 3,000 vacancies have been notified by the Karnataka Land Records department. Prospective candidates are required to apply online through the official portal at landrecords.karnataka.gov.in. Land Surveyors play a critical role in land record management, surveying, and mapping activities across the state, making this a key administrative position within the revenue department.
Separately, NHM Karnataka has also opened applications for over 3,000 Community Health Officer positions. Candidates interested in these roles must apply through the Karunadu portal at karunadu.karnataka.gov.in. CHOs are essential frontline healthcare professionals responsible for managing community health centers, supervising auxiliary nurse midwives and ANMs, and ensuring the delivery of basic healthcare services in rural and semi-urban areas across Karnataka.
The dual recruitment drive signals the state government's commitment to strengthening both its administrative infrastructure and public health system. Officials have urged eligible candidates to apply well before the deadlines and to verify all eligibility criteria — including educational qualifications, age limits, and reservation categories — on the respective official websites before submitting their applications. The recruitment process is expected to include written examinations and document verification stages, though detailed schedules have not yet been fully released.
