ICDS Mahisagar Anganwadi Recruitment 2026 — 82 Vacancies

ICDS Mahisagar Anganwadi Recruitment 2026: Overview

The ICDS Branch of the District Panchayat, Mahisagar has opened its yearly manpower drive for Anganwadi Worker (Karyakar) and Anganwadi Helper (Tedagar) honorary service under the centrally sponsored Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme. The notice is issued for the year 2026-27 and covers the 1,316 Anganwadi centres running across 8 talukas and 11 ICDS units of the district.

Only women can apply, and you must already live in the revenue village area served by the centre you choose. That local-residence rule is the heart of this recruitment — Anganwadi work is neighbourhood work, and the district wants someone the families already know. Merit is settled centre by centre, so the Anganwadi centre you pick decides which list you actually compete in.

Posts and Disciplines

• Anganwadi Worker (Karyakar): the woman who runs an Anganwadi centre for the families of one revenue village area, on an honorary-service basis. This role carries the higher of the two educational bars set in the notice.
• Anganwadi Helper (Tedagar): works alongside the worker at the same centre, also on honorary service. A helper already serving at a centre gets a separate, wider age window when she applies on priority for a worker post.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Women only: The advertisement is open to women candidates alone.
• Local residence: You must be a local resident of the revenue village area of the Anganwadi centre you apply to, and the district accepts only the prescribed-format certificate issued by the Mamlatdar through the Jan Seva Kendra as proof. No other residence document is valid for this drive.
• Cut-off date: The last date of application is the cut-off for everything — your age, your educational qualification and every other prescribed condition must already be complete by then, not merely in progress.
• Honorary service: This is mandseva, honorary service against a monthly honorarium under the ICDS scheme, and not a regular government appointment.
• Mini Anganwadi centres: The same conditions extend to mini Anganwadi worker service, which you select on the portal alongside the worker and helper options.
• Higher qualifications welcome: Women holding more than the stated minimum can apply, and the merit list weighs both the qualification and the marks obtained.
• Centre-wise merit: The online merit list is published Anganwadi-centre-wise under the prescribed procedure, so applicants for different centres never compete against each other.
• Accuracy of your entries: If anything you submit is found to be wrong or unclear at any stage, your application can be cancelled and no representation will be heard on it.
• Local help: For anything the notice does not answer, the district points you to the Child Development Project Officer (ICDS) at the taluka panchayat office of your taluka.

Application Submission Notes

Everything happens on the Gujarat government’s e-HRMS portal. Read the instructions and rules published there first, then fill the form in English — the notice is explicit about the language even though the advertisement itself is in Gujarati. You apply by choosing the specific Anganwadi centre you want, and then picking the worker, helper or mini Anganwadi worker option against it.

Upload what you attach exactly as the rules ask: legible scans in the prescribed format. The Mahisagar row on the portal’s advertisement page also carries the common instructions for applicants and the self-declaration format, and the district expects you to read the method and guidance material before you start filling anything in.
