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

This role is most suitable for candidates holding a Master's Degree in Social Science (preferably Sociology or Psychology) with a minimum of three years of dedicated experience in family counseling. Proficiency in Odia (speaking, reading, and writing at M.E. Standard equivalent) is essential. Ideal candidates are those seeking a contractual engagement within the judicial system, focused on family dispute resolution and reconciliation, and are comfortable with a fee-based remuneration structure.

Individuals seeking a permanent government position with a traditional pay scale should not apply, as this is a contractual role with a monthly and daily fee structure. Those lacking the specific Master's degree or the required family counseling experience (unless eligible under the special 'above 35' clause for general social service experience) will not be considered. Inability to speak, read, and write Odia effectively is also a strict disqualifier.

While this is a single, contractual position, working within the District Judiciary of Dhenkanal offers a valuable opportunity to contribute to public service in a specialized field. The role, although not offering a traditional career progression path, provides significant experience in family law and mediation, enhancing one's professional standing in judicial support services. It is a niche role with intrinsic importance within the local judicial framework, but external prestige and long-term career growth are primarily derived from the specialized experience gained rather than upward mobility within the organization.
