1. Introduction: A Reality Check for MP Government Job Aspirants

If you are a Madhya Pradesh government job aspirant, especially from the health sector (GNM, B.Sc Nursing, BAMS), this notification may look familiar and tempting. Many MP candidates regularly track CHO recruitments under NHM across states because MP’s own CHO cycles are irregular and often delayed.

However, let’s be absolutely clear and honest upfront:

This recruitment is NOT applicable for Madhya Pradesh candidates.

This is a district-level contractual recruitment under West Bengal NHM, released by CMOH North 24 Parganas, and it is restricted to West Bengal residents with West Bengal council registrations.

Reading further will still help you, because:

  • You will understand how CHO recruitments work structurally
  • You’ll learn why MP CHO jobs are different
  • You’ll avoid wasting money on ineligible applications
  • You’ll gain clarity on when MP aspirants should apply-and when they should not

3. Post-Wise Eligibility - Why MP Candidates Are Not Eligible

CHO (Nursing)

  • Requires registration with West Bengal Nursing Council (WBNC)
  • Accepts B.Sc Nursing / GNM / Post Basic B.Sc Nursing
  • MP Nursing Council registration is NOT accepted

CHO (BAMS)

  • Requires registration with Paschim Banga Ayurved Parishad
  • MP Ayurved Council registration is NOT valid

👉 Key takeaway for MP aspirants:
Even if your qualification matches, state council registration blocks your eligibility completely.

4. MP-Specific Eligibility & Reservation Insights (Critical Section)

This is where many MP candidates make expensive mistakes.

❌ Domicile Mismatch

  • Notification explicitly states “permanent resident of West Bengal”
  • MP domicile certificates have zero value here

❌ Category Certificate Invalid

  • MP SC/ST/OBC certificates are not recognised
  • Even central format certificates won’t help

❌ Language Barrier

  • Bengali language proficiency is mandatory
  • Unlike MP (where Hindi works almost everywhere), WB CHO postings are language-sensitive

Conclusion:
This recruitment is structurally designed to exclude non-WB candidates.

5. Contractual Recruitment Reality - Compare With MP

AspectWest Bengal CHOMadhya Pradesh CHO
Recruiting LevelDistrict (CMOH)State-level (MPESB / NHM)
Contract StabilityShort-term, district controlledRelatively better, state-managed
Salary₹20,000₹25,000-₹28,000 (varies by cycle)
DomicileStrictStrict (MP only)
Transfer ScopeMinimalPossible within district/block

MP aspirants often underestimate this:

Inter-state NHM jobs are almost never portable or flexible.

6. Why This Notification Still Matters for MP Aspirants (Strategic View)

Even though you should not apply, this notification teaches important lessons:

  1. CHO jobs are still heavily contractual across India
  2. Salary stagnation around ₹20k-₹30k is common
  3. Written + interview model is becoming standard
  4. State control is tightening-outsiders are filtered early

This directly impacts how you should plan for MP CHO / ANM / Staff Nurse / MPPSC Medical Officer routes.

7. Preparation Strategy for MP Aspirants (What You SHOULD Do Instead)

If you are from MP and targeting health-sector government jobs:

Focus Areas

  • MPESB (PEB) NHM recruitments
  • MPPSC Medical Officer (for BAMS/MBBS)
  • District NHM contractual posts (MP-only)

Preparation Alignment

  • MP GK + MP-specific health schemes
  • Hindi-medium technical understanding
  • NHM program structure (RMNCH+A, NTEP, NVBDCP, etc.)
  • Past MP CHO / ANM / Staff Nurse papers (not WB papers)

Avoid This Common Mistake

Applying blindly to “Any State CHO Job” = wasted fees + false hope.

8. Pros & Cons (From an MP Candidate’s Lens)

Pros

  • None, if you are from MP

Cons

  • 100% ineligibility
  • Application fee loss
  • Language and registration mismatch
  • No migration benefit

9. Applicant Checklist - MP Aspirants

Before applying to any CHO/NHM job outside MP, ask yourself:

  • Do I have state domicile? ❌
  • Do I have that state’s council registration? ❌
  • Is the language mandatory? ❌
  • Is the job transferable to MP later? ❌

If even one answer is “No” → Do not apply.

10. Final Advice: Apply or Skip?

Clear recommendation for MP aspirants: SKIP THIS RECRUITMENT.

This is not about qualification-it’s about state control and eligibility walls.

Save your:

  • Money
  • Time
  • Mental bandwidth

Instead, prepare seriously for:

  • Upcoming MP NHM cycles
  • MPESB health recruitments
  • MPPSC health services (long-term stability)
