Office of the District Judge, Cuttack Recruitment 2026: 1 Counsellor Vacancy

This role is ideally suited for professionals holding a Master's Degree in Social Science (preferably Sociology or Psychology) with a minimum of three years of experience in family counselling or related social welfare activities. Proficiency in speaking, reading, and writing Odia, coupled with a sound health status, is mandatory. Candidates committed to promoting family and child welfare within a judicial context, especially those with relevant experience, will find this a valuable opportunity.

Individuals lacking the specified Master's Degree or minimum three years of relevant experience in family counselling should not apply. Those unfamiliar with the Odia language (speaking, reading, writing) or seeking a permanent, salaried government position with traditional pay scales may find this contractual role unsuitable.

While a single contractual position, this role offers unique and impactful experience within the judicial system, specifically the Family Court in Cuttack. Appointed by the Hon'ble High Court of Orissa, it provides exposure to legal frameworks governing family matters and contributes directly to social welfare. Though not a route to conventional government career progression, it enhances a professional's profile in social service and legal support, operating under a prestigious judicial body.
