ICDS Vadodara Anganwadi Recruitment 2026 — 164 Vacancies

ICDS Vadodara Anganwadi Recruitment 2026: Overview

The ICDS Branch of District Panchayat Vadodara is taking women into its Anganwadi centres as Anganwadi Worker (Karyakar) and Anganwadi Helper (Tedagar) for the year 2026-27, under the centrally sponsored Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme. The centres covered here are the rural ones the district panchayat runs across 8 talukas and 11 ICDS units — the Vadodara Municipal Corporation area has its own separate advertisement. You apply for one named Anganwadi centre, not for the district as a whole, and only women already living in that centre's own village area can take it up. The engagement is honorary service (manad seva) on a monthly honorarium, not a regular government post.

Posts and Disciplines

• Anganwadi Worker (Karyakar): the woman in charge of one rural Anganwadi centre, engaged on honorary service by the district panchayat's ICDS branch. A serving Anganwadi Helper can also move into a Worker post through the priority route this notice allows.
• Anganwadi Helper (Tedagar): the support role at the same centre, on the same honorary terms and filled from the same village area.
• Where the centres are: across the 8 talukas and 11 ICDS units under District Panchayat Vadodara. The portal lists the centres, so check which one is near you before you fill the form.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Women only: the district panchayat invites women for both roles.
• Local resident rule: you must already live in the revenue village area that your chosen Anganwadi centre serves, and the only accepted proof is the prescribed certificate issued through the Mamlatdar's Jan Seva Kendra.
• Honorary engagement: this is manad seva under the ICDS scheme — a monthly honorarium, without the pay scale, seniority or service benefits of a regular government job.
• Cut-off day: the last date of application is the cut-off date, so everything the notice asks for must already be complete on that day.
• Merit list, no exam: a centre-wise online merit list is drawn up from your education and the marks you scored, and published following the prescribed procedure — there is no written test and no interview in this notice.
• Wrong or unclear entries: if the details you upload are false or not readable, your application can be cancelled and no representation will be heard.

Application Submission Notes

The whole process runs on the Gujarat e-HRMS portal at e-hrms.gujarat.gov.in. Open the Advertisement list and find the row that ends in VADODARA — the separate VADODARA URBAN row belongs to the municipal corporation's own centres, so pick carefully before pressing Apply. The form must be filled in English, and the step-by-step guide sits on the same portal. Whatever you upload has to be clear and in the prescribed format. For help the notice cannot answer, contact the Child Development Project Officer (ICDS) at the taluka panchayat office of your taluka in Vadodara district.
