DSW Manipur Multi Post Recruitment 2026: Overview
The Directorate of Social Welfare, Government of Manipur (DSW Manipur) is recruiting staff for the Mission Vatsalya Scheme through a common notification. The contractual roles cover the State Adoption Resource Agency, non-institutional care and Special Juvenile Police Units, bringing different parts of the child-protection system into this recruitment. The main point for you is that the engagement is linked to the scheme, so you should consider the service conditions alongside the role you choose.
Posts and Disciplines
- Programme Officer: This position belongs to the State Adoption Resource Agency, called SARA in the notification. Its placement gives you a clear way to distinguish the adoption-agency role from the other officer position advertised in the same recruitment.
- Protection Officer: This role is identified specifically with Non-Institutional Care, abbreviated as NIC. If you are comparing the officer posts, pay attention to this unit name: the notice treats it as a separate role from the Programme Officer position in SARA.
- Social Worker: These positions belong to Special Juvenile Police Units, abbreviated as SJPU. The notification includes a district-linked arrangement for appointing women in this group, making the unit and the reservation conditions important parts of your choice of post.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Scheme-linked tenure: Your engagement lasts with the scheme. The notification makes the appointment co-terminus with Mission Vatsalya, so this is a contractual opportunity whose continuation depends on that scheme.
- Women in SJPU roles: The Social Worker appointments include a minimum provision for women, with representation linked to each district. Keep this condition in mind when reading the post-specific reservation information.
- Reservation: The notice gives separate reservation allocations for each post and also refers to horizontal reservation for persons with disabilities. Read the relevant post entry carefully when deciding which category applies to your application.
- No canvassing: Trying to influence the recruitment, either yourself or through someone else, can lead to disqualification. The restriction covers indirect approaches as well as direct ones.
- Checks during recruitment: The department can disqualify you if checks at any stage show that you do not meet a stated condition. Keep your application details consistent with the basis on which you claim to qualify.
- Background checks: A criminal record resulting in an adverse report from the district administration or police can lead to disqualification. The notice says this can apply even after the recruitment process has been completed.

- Support adoption-related programme work in the State Adoption Resource Agency.
- Coordinate non-institutional care support for children as a Protection Officer.
