Agricultural Field Operator

This role is ideal for individuals with a matriculation (10th pass) and either a +2 Vocational qualification in Agriculture or at least two years of practical experience in agricultural field work, particularly with rice crops. Candidates must be between 18 and 50 years of age (with relaxations for reserved categories) and possess hands-on skills in land preparation, crop management, and mechanized farming. This is a temporary, project-based position suitable for those seeking short-term engagement in agricultural research.

Candidates looking for a permanent government position or long-term career stability should not apply, as this is a purely temporary, contract-based role co-terminus with the project (up to July 2027). Individuals without relevant agricultural vocational education or at least two years of practical experience in agricultural field work will not meet the essential qualifications. Those seeking a high-paying position may find the consolidated remuneration of Rs. 18,000/- per month insufficient.

ICAR-CRRI is a well-respected Central Government research institute under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR). While the role itself is operational and temporary, it offers an opportunity to work within a prestigious organization contributing to critical agricultural research, specifically in rice cultivation. It provides valuable practical experience in a scientific environment but does not offer long-term career progression or absorption within ICAR.
