Dehradun Homeguards Recruitment 2026: Apply for 152 Posts
Short Information: The Office of District Commandant, Homeguards, Dehradun is recruiting 152 Male Homeguard Volunteers (Purush Homeguards Swayamsevak) for Dehradun district — a part-time, on-call auxiliary police force under the Uttarakhand Government. Out of 1,038 sanctioned posts with 886 currently filled, these 152 vacancies are being filled for May–June 2026. What makes this role unique is that you are called for duty only when the administration needs assistance — and for every day you report for duty, the state government pays a fixed daily duty allowance plus the government-approved Mahangai Bhatta (DA). It is NOT a full-time desk job — it is ideal for candidates who want a recognized government-affiliated role with flexibility. Minimum education required is High School (10th Pass) from a board/institution recognized by Uttarakhand State Government. Age must be between 18 and 40 years as on 01/01/2026. Physical standards for General/OBC/SC candidates are: height minimum 165 cm, chest unexpanded 78.8 cm, chest expanded 83.8 cm. For ST candidates, minimum height is 157.5 cm. For Hill area candidates, minimum height is 160 cm. Applications must be submitted offline — by post or in person — to the District Commandant Homeguards Office, Dehradun, or at the notice board of Nanda Ki Chowki, Chakrata Road, Dehradun, by 22 May 2026 (up to 11:59 PM).
