Honorarium — per case, not a monthly salary

No honorarium is payable for periods when no cases are assigned. This is not a monthly salary. Some job listings describe the pay as Rs. 10,000 per month — that is wrong; the official press release says per case. The tenure is 3 years.
Who can apply
A post-graduate degree in a child-welfare, health or education related field — social work, sociology, law, psychology, child development or other suitable fields — or a graduation with a minimum of 3 years of experience in children's education, development, health or protection. Candidates must be at least 25 years old; no upper age limit is stated. Qualified individuals and qualified organisations engaged in child-protection work may both apply.
