The Himachal Pradesh cabinet has approved a large set of government posts, including 597 Junior Basic Teacher (JBT) posts, 1,000 Rogi Mitra health workers, 721 data entry operators and 561 junior office assistants.

The decisions were taken at the state cabinet meeting held in Shimla on Friday, 13 November 2026, chaired by Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu.

## The posts approved

– **597 JBT teachers** — for government schools across the state.
– **1,000 Rogi Mitra** — health workers to support patients in government health facilities.
– **721 data entry operators** — for government offices.
– **561 junior office assistants (JOA-IT)** — for various departments.

These are among the biggest single-day job approvals by the state cabinet this year, and they cover teaching, health and office work.

## 235 stalled energy projects cancelled

In the same meeting, the cabinet cancelled the allotments of 235 long-stalled energy projects — 222 solar projects and 13 hydro projects — that had not moved forward for years. The government also decided to sell surplus water to neighbouring states at tripled rates, and to extend the state’s royalty period under the Swaran Jayanti Energy Policy to 50 years.

## How to apply

The government has not yet announced the application dates, eligibility details or the recruitment process for these posts. Candidates should not trust any message or website asking for money for these jobs. Wait for the official notification from the concerned department or the Himachal Pradesh recruitment boards.
