Following the interview, the selection board prepares a consolidated merit list. Selected candidates receive formal deputation or appointment orders after completing parent department clearance and verification of original service books and educational credentials.

Upon formal relieve from parent departments, coordinators undergo orientation at the State Poverty Eradication Mission headquarters or designated training institutes before receiving postings across district mission offices in Kerala. The complete process from interview to joining typically spans two to three months.

The State Poverty Eradication Mission, widely known as Kudumbashree, was launched by the Government of Kerala in 1998 to wipe out absolute poverty through community action led by women. It represents one of the largest women empowerment and community-based networks in India, functioning under the Local Self Government Department.

Kudumbashree covers millions of families organized into a three-tier community structure consisting of Neighbourhood Groups (NHGs), Area Development Societies (ADS), and Community Development Societies (CDS). The organization spearheads micro-enterprises, collective farming, financial inclusion, skill training, and local social development programs across all fourteen districts of Kerala.

The District Mission Coordinator serves as the executive head of Kudumbashree operations within the assigned district, reporting to the Executive Director at the state mission office and collaborating closely with District Collectors and local self-government institutions. The role demands significant field travel, review meetings, and strategic coordination of district programs.

Assistant District Mission Coordinators assist in supervising specific mission verticals such as microfinance, livelihood development, social development, and institution building. Both roles entail extensive public interaction with community leaders, panchayat representatives, and field staff to implement state development schemes efficiently.
