Selection Process
There is no written exam and no interview for these posts.

First, preference is given to women from Below Poverty Line (BPL) families of the same gram sabha or ward, in this order: a widow from a BPL family, then a legally divorced or abandoned woman from a BPL family, and then other women from BPL families. Only if no such candidate is found, the same order of preference is applied to women from Above Poverty Line (APL) families: a widow from an APL family, then a legally divorced or abandoned woman from an APL family, and then other women from APL families.
If no eligible candidate in any of these categories is available in the same gram sabha, category-wise selection is made in the same way from the concerned Nyay Panchayat.
