Only female candidates are eligible to apply for these posts. The candidate must be a permanent resident of the ward (urban area) or Gram Panchayat (rural area) corresponding to the vacant post. The residence certificate issued by the Tehsil must mention the Gram Panchayat/village name, or in urban areas, the ward name along with the mohalla name. All selection procedures and terms will follow Government Order No. I/1092245/2025/3313/58-1-2025 (1917687) dated 17.09.2025. A candidate whose family already has one woman appointed as Anganwadi Karyakatri or Anganwadi Sahayika at the same Anganwadi centre will not be appointed to the other post at that same centre.
