Anganwadi Recruitment 2026: Anganwadi Worker, Helper and Supervisor Jobs
Anganwadi posts are recruited under the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme, run by state Women & Child Development departments. The three main posts are Anganwadi Worker (runs the local centre, handles nutrition and pre-school education for children under 6), Anganwadi Helper (assists the Worker with cooking and cleaning), and Anganwadi Supervisor (oversees multiple centres in a project area, a promotional or direct-entry post requiring a graduate degree).
Anganwadi Worker and Helper posts are usually reserved for women residing in the same village or ward as the centre, with a minimum qualification of Class 8 or 10 pass for Helper and Class 10 or 12 pass for Worker, varying by state. Most states select candidates through a merit list based on qualifying-exam marks and local residency rather than a separate written examination, though a few states now conduct a written test for Supervisor-level posts.
Anganwadi Worker and Helper are honorarium-based engagements rather than regular salaried government posts. Payment is a fixed monthly honorarium set by the state government, topped up by central government contribution under the ICDS scheme, not a Pay Commission salary, and it does not carry standard government pension benefits. Anganwadi Supervisor, where recruited as a regular post, does carry standard state Group C/B pay scale and benefits.
