The District Health Society (DHS) Pudukkottai in Tamil Nadu has released a large offline recruitment notification covering 54 contractual posts spread across ten different medical and paramedical designations, from Medical Officers to health workers and support staff. This is a district-level public health hiring drive, and the sheer variety of posts — spanning MBBS-qualified Medical Officers, an Audiologist, MPHW-Male/HI Grade II staff, ANMs, and even a Cleaner post — makes it relevant to candidates with very different educational backgrounds, from an 8th-standard pass certificate right up to a full MBBS degree.
Unlike most 2026 recruitment drives that have moved to online portals, this one is strictly offline, so candidates need to physically download the form, fill it by hand, and post it before the deadline rather than relying on a digital submission. With 42 out of the 54 posts concentrated in the single MPHW-Male/HI Grade II category, that designation is clearly the biggest opportunity in this notification, so read the eligibility table below closely to see which post matches your qualification.
