Candidates can access the detailed recruitment advertisement, eligibility criteria and prescribed application form on the Planning Department's official website: www.plan.maharashtra.gov.in.
Applicants must submit the completed application form along with the required documents within 15 days of the advertisement's publication.

State Skill Development Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha said earlier this month that Maharashtra would pilot an artificial intelligence (AI)-based digital platform to connect job seekers with industries in Mumbai Suburban and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar districts.
The initiative, called the âBlue Dot AI Economy', aims to match candidates' skills with the workforce requirements of industries, particularly micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), to streamline recruitment and improve employment opportunities.
The Skill Development, Employment, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Department has signed a non-financial memorandum of understanding (MoU) with EkStep Foundation to implement the pilot project. The department has also signed an MoU with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) to strengthen skill development, employability and international employment opportunities in the state.
According to the state government, the Blue Dot AI Economy platform, developed by EkStep Foundation, is based on the principles of digital public infrastructure. It is designed to identify local employment demand and supply based on individual requirements and geographical locations.
The platform will cover areas such as livelihoods, education and training, MSMEs and the economic participation of persons with disabilities. It is also expected to connect citizens, entrepreneurs, industries and institutions to help make better use of local skills, resources and economic opportunities.
The government plans to assess the pilot project's outcomes before considering an expansion. Funding for the initiative has been proposed.
