Recruitment Note: About Tamil Nadu State Rural Livelihoods Mission (TNSRLM)

Tamil Nadu State Rural Livelihoods Mission (TNSRLM) is the State implementation agency of the National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM), operating under the Government of Tamil Nadu's Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Department. TNSRLM works to organise rural poor women into Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and link them to financial institutions, skill development programmes, and livelihood opportunities. The Mission operates through a three-tier federation structure — Village-Level Federations (Ooaratchi Alavilan Koottamaippu), Block-Level Federations (Vattara Alavilan Koottamaippu), and District-Level Federations — covering all 38 districts of Tamil Nadu. Salem District's TNSRLM implementation is overseen by the District Mission Management Unit (DMMU) under the District Collector. Community Bank Coordinators are a crucial link between SHG women and banking services at the grassroots Panchayat level.

Recruitment Note: Job Profile — Community Bank Coordinator

A Community Bank Coordinator works at the Gram Panchayat level under the TNSRLM Women's Programme. The primary role is to act as a banking facilitator for SHG members in the village — visiting banks to conduct financial transactions on behalf of SHG members, assisting members in filling loan applications, maintaining records of SHG savings and credit linkages, and facilitating communication between SHG groups and financial institutions. The coordinator is also expected to send updates and notifications to group members via SMS and WhatsApp, operate mobile-based government applications (like TNSRLM's digital platforms), and support Community Needs Assessment and identification of target families under various government welfare schemes. A two-wheeler is important for field mobility across the Panchayat. The role requires good community trust and is ideally suited for an active SHG member with demonstrated leadership and financial management experience at the grassroots level.

Recruitment Note: Benefits & Perks

The salary/honorarium for the Community Bank Coordinator position has not been specified in the official press release (No. 332/2026). Candidates are advised to inquire about the exact remuneration from the concerned Block-Level Federation (Vattara Alavilan Koottamaippu) office before applying. The position is on a contract basis and does not confer any right to regular government employment or service benefits like PF, Pension, or Gratuity. However, the role provides a formal government-affiliated identity, regular engagement with the banking and rural development ecosystem, and potential for career growth within the TNSRLM/SHG federation structure.
