About This Job

Apply for 1 Assistant Cook post at OAV Govindpur. Women with cooking skills preferred. Salary: Rs. 6,750. Last date: 3 Sep 2026.

OAV Govindpur Assistant Cook Recruitment 2026: Overview

Odisha Adarsha Vidyalaya, Govindpur, Pipili (OAV Govindpur) is hiring an Assistant Cook for its girls' hostel in Puri district under Odisha's School and Mass Education Department. The job supports the hostel kitchen that serves resident students, so dependable daily attendance, safe cooking and careful cleanliness matter more than office-style work.

This opportunity is specifically for a woman applicant who can live inside the hostel premises. Training in cooking receives preference, while practical knowledge of operating an LPG stove is an essential working requirement. The arrangement suits someone comfortable with a residential-school routine and shared kitchen responsibilities.

Service Conditions and Caveats

  • Residential duty: The selected woman must stay on the girls' hostel campus. You should consider this condition before applying because it is part of the engagement, not an optional facility.
  • Kitchen hygiene: You must keep your clothing, hands, utensils and food-preparation area clean throughout cooking work. The practical assessment also looks at sanitation.
  • Cooking equipment: Working knowledge of an LPG stove is compulsory. You must be able to use it safely within a busy hostel kitchen.
  • Practical suitability: The selection committee will judge how you cook, including the taste of the food, the time taken and the cleanliness maintained while working.
  • Application quality: Incomplete forms and forms received after the permitted office period will be rejected. The school is not responsible for postal delay.
  • School's decision: The competent authority may reject any or all applications without giving a reason, as stated in the advertisement.

Application Submission Notes

Download the form from the Puri district website or collect it from the Principal's office at OAV Govindpur. Complete it clearly and attach the applicable self-attested records requested in the form.

You may send the application by registered post or speed post, or deliver it by hand during office hours, to the Principal, Odisha Adarsha Vidyalaya, Govindpur, Block Pipili, District Puri, PIN 752104. Plan enough delivery time if you use post because arrival at the school, not dispatch alone, determines whether the form is on time.

The application form carries a declaration confirming that your details are true and that you accept the recruitment terms. Sign the form and include the requested photographs; missing entries or enclosures can make an otherwise suitable application incomplete.

  • Prepare daily meals and snacks for girls staying in the hostel
