Zilla Panchayat, Raichur Library Supervisor Recruitment 2026 - 5 Posts

Zilla Panchayat, Raichur has released a notification to fill 5 vacant Gram Panchayat Library and Information Centre Supervisor posts under the Karnataka Grama Swaraj and Panchayat Raj (Gram Panchayat Library and Information Centre Supervisor Service) Rules, 2022. Out of 13 total vacant posts across 7 taluks in the district, 8 already had eligible local candidates apply - this fresh notification covers only the remaining 5 gram panchayats where local candidates could not be found earlier. Preference is still given first to residents of the specific gram panchayat, then the same taluk, before the vacancy is opened to the wider district. Since candidates are graded on 12th standard marks rather than a written exam, this is a good opportunity for PUC-qualified candidates in rural Karnataka to get a stable government-linked role close to home.
