The Office of the District Women & Child Welfare and Empowerment Officer, Nandyal District, Andhra Pradesh, has released a recruitment notification under No. WDC02-ESTOAS(AWS)/1/2025-SA(1)-WDCWNDL for 70 government job vacancies — 3 Anganwadi Worker and 67 Anganwadi Helper posts — across 6 ICDS Projects in Nandyal district. This is a widely accessible community-level recruitment drive open exclusively to local women candidates, offering employment under the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme at specific Anganwadi Centres in Atmakur, Nandyal, Dhone, Allagadda, Banaganapalli, and Nandikotkur Projects. Selected Anganwadi Workers and Helpers will deliver early childhood care, nutrition, and pre-school education services at their assigned Anganwadi Centre (AWC). Candidates must be ordinarily married, local residents of the concerned mandal/village, aged 21 to below 35 years as on 1 July 2026, and have passed at least 10th class (with a lower-qualification allowance for Helper posts where no 10th-pass candidate is available). The selection process is based on document scrutiny at the respective CDPO (Child Development Project Officer) office, with no written examination involved. Applications must be submitted for the specific AWC vacancy listed in the notification, and the number of posts is subject to change at the discretion of the District Collector. The Nandyal Anganwadi Worker & Helper 2026 application process is offline, with applications accepted in person at the concerned CDPO office between 5 September 2026 (10:30 AM) and 18 September 2026 (5:00 PM).
