Palnadu DCPU and SAA Multi-Post Recruitment 2026

Palnadu DCPU and SAA Multi-Post Recruitment 2026: Overview

The District Women and Child Welfare and Empowerment Officer (DW&CW&EO), Narasaraopet, working under the Women Development and Child Welfare Department, Government of Andhra Pradesh, is filling five kinds of posts in Palnadu district. The jobs are spread across the District Child Protection Unit (DCPU) and the Specialised Adoption Agency (SAA) at Narasaraopet, and the Children Home at Piduguralla.

This is a women-only, local-only drive: only female candidates from the local area can apply. The posts range from a 7th class pass/fail helper job to a social work graduate post, so there is something here for many education levels. Engagement is on a contract or outsourcing basis, not a permanent government job.

Posts and Disciplines

• Assistant cum Data Entry Operator (DCPU): the office and computer post of the District Child Protection Unit. Candidates with work experience get extra weightage.
• Social Worker-cum-Early Child Educator (SAA): the senior post of the adoption agency, open to graduates and post-graduates in social work and related child-development fields. Experience on women and child protection issues, links with NGOs, police and government offices, fluent English and Telugu, and comfort with MS Word, Excel and the internet are preferred.
• Ayah (SAA): the largest group of posts, for women who have looked after infants and children below 6 years and can care for the babies and young children at the adoption agency.
• Chowkidar (SAA): the watch-and-ward post at the adoption agency, for an alert and active person with a clean personal record.
• Helper cum Night Watchman (Children Home, Piduguralla): an outsourced post at the Piduguralla children's home. Three years of experience in cooking and household work, especially in institutions, is preferred.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Women only: Only female candidates who are local to the district are eligible for every post.
• Nature of engagement: Four posts are on a contract basis, while the Helper cum Night Watchman post is on an outsourcing basis. None of them is a regular government post.
• Chowkidar conduct rule: You must have no past record of moral turpitude and no habits such as drinking alcohol or chewing gutka.
• Fitness certificate: The Helper cum Night Watchman post needs a physical fitness certificate.
• Shortlisting: Only shortlisted qualified candidates are called for the interview, so meeting the minimum qualification does not guarantee a call.
• Cancellation: The Collector and District Magistrate (Chairman), Palnadu District can cancel this notification at any time without giving reasons.
