WCD Odisha Anganwadi Helper & Worker Recruitment 2026 – 3 Posts (Pliheri, Badabang, Kunupanga)

Yes, WCD Odisha Anganwadi Helper & Worker Recruitment 2026 is out. The Women and Child Development Department, Odisha, has released a notification for 3 posts — Anganwadi Helper at Pliheri, and Anganwadi Worker at Badabang and Kunupanga — open to candidates who have passed 10+2 from a recognized board. WCD Odisha runs a near-continuous, hyperlocal recruitment cycle for Anganwadi Helper and Worker posts, with fresh vacancies notified village-by-village and centre-by-centre across the state on an almost daily basis. This particular set of 3 posts at Pliheri, Badabang and Kunupanga is separate from other recent WCD Odisha postings at different villages such as Jagatsinghpur district centres and other advertisement-numbered drives. Each Anganwadi centre serves a specific local community under the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme, providing nutrition, pre-school education and health support to children and mothers in that area. Eligible candidates can apply online on or before 28 August 2026. Selection proceeds through online application, document verification, and a merit list — there is no written examination. Since WCD Odisha runs numerous concurrent village-specific vacancies, candidates should confirm they are applying for the correct centre (Pliheri, Badabang, or Kunupanga) matching their eligibility and residence.
