Adilabad Anganwadi Teacher (AWT) and Anganwadi Helper (AWH) Recruitment 2026 - 242 Posts

The Women Development, Child Welfare and Disabled & Senior Citizens (WCD&SC) Department, Adilabad District has released a notification to fill 242 Anganwadi posts — 63 Anganwadi Teacher (AWT) and 179 Anganwadi Helper (AWH) vacancies — in the tribal (agency) Anganwadi Centres of the Narnoor and Utnoor ICDS projects. Most of these 242 posts are reserved for ST candidates, with a smaller number reserved for SC candidates, reflecting the tribal composition of these project areas. This notification is part of Telangana's ongoing state-wide Anganwadi recruitment drive for 2026, which is being rolled out district-by-district; plain-area mandals of Adilabad district are expected to open later.

Anganwadi Centres are village-level childcare and nutrition centers run under the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme. An Anganwadi Teacher runs daily pre-school and nutrition activities for children aged 0-6 years, while an Anganwadi Helper assists with cooking, cleaning, and other support work at the centre.

Vacancy Breakdown by Project and Mandal

• Most vacancies in these mandals are reserved for ST candidates, with a few posts reserved for SC candidates.
• Each vacancy is tied to a specific Anganwadi Centre (AWC) in the notification, so check the official vacancy list for your village/habitation.

The vacancies are notified separately for each mandal under its own notification number — for example, Gadiguda mandal vacancies are notified under A2/386/NRN-GDG-AWT-01/2017 and Utnoor mandal vacancies under A2/386/UTN-UTN-AWT-01/2017. Each Anganwadi Centre (AWC) has a unique AWC ID, so check the mandal-wise vacancy list carefully to find the centre closest to your home before applying.

Who Can Apply?

• Qualification: You should have passed Intermediate (12th) for both Anganwadi Teacher and Anganwadi Helper posts.
• For Anganwadi Helper posts in the SC/ST reserved category, if no candidate with Intermediate qualification is available, candidates without this qualification may also be considered.
• Gender: Only women candidates can apply for these posts, as per ICDS norms.
• Residence: You should typically be a resident of the same village/habitation where the vacant Anganwadi Centre is located.
• Disability: Candidates holding a valid disability certificate are eligible under the reserved quota for persons with disabilities.
• Marital Status: Both married and unmarried women can apply, as per standard ICDS eligibility norms.

These posts are honorarium-based community appointments, not regular government service, but they offer a stable long-term opportunity to work close to home and support early childhood development in your own village or habitation.

Age Limit

• You should be between 18 and 35 years old to apply for these posts.

Selection Process

There is no written exam for these posts. Selection is done in these steps:

1. Merit List: Prepared based on your academic qualification and applicable local/social criteria as per ICDS norms.
2. Document Verification: Shortlisted candidates must produce their original certificates for verification.

Since almost all vacancies in the Narnoor and Utnoor ICDS projects are reserved for ST candidates (with a few for SC candidates), the merit list and social-criteria scoring will be applied within each reserved category as notified for the specific Anganwadi Centre you apply for.
