Verified Official SourcePractical service rules, posting locations, transfer policy, and promotion ladder curated from official gazettes.
Work Culture & Environment
Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.
Support staff at Odisha Adarsha Vidyalaya Morada reside 24x7 within the Boys' Hostel campus, maintaining a supportive, disciplined, and safe residential environment for rural student scholars. Wardens oversee overall boarding administration and night study routines, while cooks prepare daily nutritious meals, and the chowkidar-cum-sweeper ensures perimeter safety and compound cleanliness. The role demands dedicated residential presence and high personal integrity.
Posting & Transfer Policy
Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.
Contractual engagement for an initial duration of 1 year, renewable with a 1-day break subject to satisfactory performance. Stationed at OAV Morada, Mayurbhanj District, Odisha.
Career & Promotion Ladder
Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.
