Wayanad (Kerala) Govt Jobs 2026

Wayanad is Kerala’s highland tribal district, designated as an Aspirational District under NITI Aayog’s programme, nestled between the Western Ghats and sharing borders with Karnataka and Tamil Nadu — a geography that makes forest, tribal welfare, and border development recruitment particularly prominent here. The Forest Department, Tribal Welfare Department, and Scheduled Tribes Development Department are the most consistent state-level recruiters in Wayanad, given that over 17% of the district’s population belongs to tribal communities. Kerala PSC fills Wayanad-specific posts including Village Extension Officer, Community Health Officer, and Beat Forest Officer — with priority given to tribal sub-plan vacancies in many notification cycles. Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary and the Muthanga and Tholpetty reserve forests drive Forest Guard and Wildlife Warden vacancies unique to this district among Kerala’s fourteen. NHM Kerala and the National Health Mission’s tribal health initiatives, along with CRPF units deployed at the Karnataka and Tamil Nadu border check posts, are the key central government employers here. This page compiles all Wayanad Sarkari Naukri notifications, syllabus, admit cards, results, and merit lists.

Wayanad district covers approximately 2,131 square kilometres across three talukas: Mananthavady, Sulthan Bathery, and Vythiri. With a population of around 8 lakh per the 2011 Census and a tribal population exceeding 17% — the highest share among Kerala’s non-island districts — Wayanad has been designated an Aspirational District under the NITI Aayog programme, driving concentrated central and state government investment and recruitment to improve its human development indicators.

Kerala Forest Department manages Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary (the core zone for tigers and elephants in northern Kerala), the Muthanga Wildlife Sanctuary, and the Tholpetty Reserve Forest as part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve — one of the world’s most significant biodiversity hotspots. Forest Guard, Beat Forest Officer, and Range Forest Officer vacancies through Kerala PSC/KEA are among the most applied-for government posts in Wayanad given the district’s forest-heavy geography.

Tribal Welfare Department and Scheduled Tribes Development Department maintain dedicated government infrastructure for Wayanad’s Adivasi communities — including Kurichiya, Kuruma, Paniya, and Kattunaickan tribes. Ashram School Teacher, Community Health Officer, and Tribal Extension Officer vacancies specifically targeting ST candidates are regularly notified by Kerala PSC for Wayanad under the Tribal Sub-Plan.

CRPF units are deployed at Wayanad’s inter-state border check posts with Karnataka (Muthanga) and Tamil Nadu (Bavali), generating Constable GD and Head Constable vacancies under CRPF Kerala sector recruitment. Border roads and inter-state highway maintenance generate PWD and NHAI project staff vacancies periodically.

Kerala PSC notifies Village Extension Officer, Community Health Officer, Beat Forest Officer, LD Clerk, and ICDS Supervisor vacancies for Wayanad. NHM Kerala is highly active here, recruiting CHOs, ANMs, and pharmacists for Wayanad’s remote tribal PHC network. India Post Kerala Circle covers GDS vacancies for the district’s dispersed habitations.
