DC Latur Aaple Sarkar Seva Kendra Recruitment 2026 — 640 Posts

District Collector Office, Latur (e-Governance Department) Aaple Sarkar Seva Kendra Recruitment 2026 is out, with 640 vacant Kendra Operator locations announced under Reference No. 2026/e-Governance/KaVi-176, dated 24 August 2026. This Maharashtra government job/self-employment opportunity 2026 covers vacant Aaple Sarkar Seva Kendra locations across Latur district — 599 in Gram Panchayat areas, 10 in Nagar Parishad/Nagar Panchayat areas, and 31 in Latur City Municipal Corporation wards. Eligible candidates aged 18 and above, who have passed HSC (12th) with basic computer knowledge, can apply online at setusamitilatur.in from 25 August 2026, 11:00 AM, to 15 September 2026, 5:00 PM. Aaple Sarkar Seva Kendra is Maharashtra's citizen-service-centre network, delivering government certificates, records, and e-governance services to residents at the local level, similar in concept to a Common Service Centre (CSC) but run under the state's own Aaple Sarkar framework rather than the central CSC scheme. Selected Kendra Operators will run their own citizen-service centre from an independently owned or rented office of at least 100 sq. ft., equipped with a minimum of 2 computers/laptops, a scanner, a laser printer, a biometric device, webcam, UPS or power backup, broadband internet (10 Mbps rural / 20 Mbps urban), and CCTV. This is not a salaried government job — it is a self-employment model where the operator earns through service fees fixed by the government, and must be financially capable of investing in the centre and sustaining operations for 6 to 12 months. Where more than one application is received for the same geographic area, selection follows a 100-mark evaluation conducted by the District-level Setu Committee, headed by the District Collector: Educational Qualification (10 marks), Computer & Digital Literacy (15 marks), Infrastructure Facility verified by physical inspection (15 marks), Financial Capacity (10 marks), Customer Service & Communication Skills via interview (20 marks), relevant Experience such as CSC operator or Banking Correspondent work (10 marks), Business Plan & Sustainability (5 marks), Social Inclusiveness for women, ex-servicemen, differently-abled, or self-help group members (5 marks), and Character Verification (10 marks). The full scrutiny process runs through seven stages: preliminary document scrutiny, an objection window on the eligible/ineligible list, physical inspection of shortlisted premises, a separately announced interview schedule, a merit list from the District-level Selection Committee, an objection window on the preliminary selection list, and finally the published final selection list. Candidates must apply online exclusively at setusamitilatur.in, uploading the domicile/residence certificate, age proof, Aadhaar and PAN copies, educational certificates, MSCIT/CCC certificate, a 6-month bank statement, a current-month police character certificate, GPS-camera photographs of the proposed Kendra location, and ownership or rent-agreement documents for the premises. The application fee is ₹500, payable online via QR code from the applicant's own bank account, with the receipt mandatory for submission. The last date to apply is 15 September 2026, 5:00 PM. Candidates must read the complete official DC Latur 2026 notification PDF before applying, since detailed terms — including a strict one-Kendra-per-applicant-per-district rule, mandatory Marathi and English knowledge, and automatic cancellation if the Kendra doesn't operate continuously for 3 months after approval — are all set out there, and no correspondence with the office is entertained outside official updates published on latur.gov.in.
