OAV Rajapur Hostel Staff Recruitment 2026

OAV Rajapur Hostel Staff Recruitment 2026: Overview

Odisha Adarsha Vidyalaya (OAV) Rajapur, Beguniapada, Ganjam is recruiting hostel staff for its Non-KGBV boys’ hostel. The school comes under Odisha’s Department of School and Mass Education, and the engagement supports the hostel as it starts functioning in the 2026-27 academic year.

This is a contract recruitment covering hostel supervision, cooking and support work at the same campus. You should read the conditions for your chosen role carefully because the notice treats the roles separately within a shared recruitment.

Posts and Disciplines

• Warden: The supervisory role in the boys’ hostel, connected with its day-to-day management and the students living there.
• Head Cook: The main cooking role for the hostel’s food arrangements.
• Assistant Cook: A kitchen support role working alongside the hostel’s cooking team.
• Chowkidar-cum-Sweeper: A combined hostel support role covering watch duties and cleaning.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Initial engagement: The contract is for one year. Further engagement depends on satisfactory performance, so you should not treat the initial appointment as an assurance of continued service.
• Renewal arrangement: After the initial contract ends, a fresh contract can follow with a gap of at least one working day. This is the renewal arrangement stated for the hostel staff engagement.
• Local preference for Warden: Preference goes to people from the block where the hostel is located. If a suitable person is unavailable there, applicants from other blocks of Ganjam district can be considered.
• Local preference for support roles: For cooking and Chowkidar-cum-Sweeper roles, local applicants receive preference before the wider block is considered. For Chowkidar-cum-Sweeper, the notice also allows consideration from other blocks in the district if needed.
• Communication: Keep the mobile or WhatsApp number and email address in your form active until recruitment is complete. The school uses these details to send recruitment messages, so make sure they are current and accessible.
• Truthful information: False details, hidden information or failure to meet the stated conditions can lead to cancellation of your candidature. This applies if the issue is found during recruitment or afterwards.
• Recruitment decision: The authority may cancel the recruitment at any stage without giving a reason. Your application therefore remains subject to the school’s recruitment decisions.
