The National Health Mission (NHM), UT of Lakshadweep, Kavaratti has invited applications for 11 contract posts: Nursing Officer, Radiographer, Physiotherapist, Dental Assistant and Pulmonologist. Selection is through a virtual interview, so you do not need to travel to the islands just to be considered. Monthly pay runs from Rs. 11,000 to Rs. 2,00,000, depending on the post. If you are a nurse, a paramedical professional or a chest specialist looking for government jobs in Lakshadweep, this is a short and simple process worth your time.
The window is very short. Applications close at 6 PM on 3 October 2026, and they go through an online Google Form, not by post.

This article explains the posts, eligibility, pay, the interview and each step of applying, in simple words. Keep following GovtJobsAlert.in for more health department jobs.
