OAV Pitatali Hostel Staff Recruitment 2026: Overview

Odisha Adarsha Vidyalaya (OAV) Pitatali is recruiting contractual staff for its boys’ hostel in Chikiti block, Ganjam, under Odisha’s Department of School and Mass Education. The drive supports the hostel’s start in the 2026–27 academic year and covers the management, cooking and watchperson roles listed in the same notice. This is the school’s non-KGBV boys’ hostel recruitment, with a local-candidate preference that differs by post.

Posts and Disciplines

• Warden: the hostel-management position at OAV Pitatali. The notice also provides a route for retired male teachers who meet its special conditions.
• Chowkidar-cum-Sweeper: a combined watchperson and cleaning post attached to the same boys’ hostel.
• Head Cook: the main cooking position in the hostel’s staffing arrangement.
• Assistant Cook: the supporting cooking role, listed separately from Head Cook in the notice.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Contract period: Your initial engagement lasts one year. Any fresh contract follows a gap of at least one working day and depends on satisfactory performance during the previous engagement.
• Warden preference: Candidates from the hostel’s block receive preference. If suitable candidates are unavailable there, applicants from other blocks in Ganjam district may be considered.
• Watchperson preference: For Chowkidar-cum-Sweeper, preference begins with the locality, then the block, and then other blocks in the district if suitable applicants are unavailable.
• Cooking-post preference: Head Cook and Assistant Cook applicants from the hostel’s locality receive preference. The notice allows the block to be considered when suitable local candidates are unavailable.
• Correct information: False or fabricated details, hidden relevant information or failure to meet the stated conditions can lead to cancellation of your candidature, including if discovered later.
• Authority’s discretion: The recruiting authority can cancel the process at any point without giving a reason.
