ICDS Jammu and Kashmir Anganwadi Sahayika Recruitment 2026 - Extension Notice

The Office of the Child Development Project Officer (CDPO), POSHAN Project Rohama, Baramulla had earlier issued Advertisement No. CDPO/POSHAN/Roh/2026/210-220 dated 23 June 2026 inviting applications for Anganwadi Sahayika (Helper) posts. Due to poor response from eligible candidates, the department has now reopened and extended the application window for female candidates from the same panch wards/municipal wards. All other terms and conditions of the original advertisement remain unchanged. Anganwadi Sahayikas work alongside Anganwadi Workers under the POSHAN Abhiyaan scheme to support nutrition, health and pre-school education services for children and pregnant/lactating mothers at the local Anganwadi Centre.

This is a good opportunity for local women in the Rohama area of Baramulla district who want to work close to home while contributing to child nutrition and early childhood care in their own community. Since the department is directly asking for fresh applications due to the earlier low turnout, candidates from the eligible wards who missed the first deadline now get a second chance to apply.

Who Can Apply?

• Gender: Only female candidates can apply for these Sahayika (Helper) posts.
• Domicile: You must be a resident of the specific panchayat/municipal ward under which the Anganwadi Centre falls in POSHAN Project Rohama, Baramulla.
• Qualification and other eligibility conditions remain the same as mentioned in the original advertisement No. CDPO/POSHAN/Roh/2026/210-220 dated 23 June 2026.
