Women and Child Development Department, Karnataka has notified recruitment for 232 posts. Applications are accepted online from 24 Jul 2026 to 24 Aug 2026. The prescribed qualification is PUC for Anganwadi Worker and SSLC for Anganwadi Helper, with Kannada studied as a first or second language, and the age limit is 19 to 35 years before category relaxation is applied. The vacancies are spread across 8 distinct posts, and the category-wise split for each is set out in the vacancy table below.

Selection is made through Application scrutiny, Merit list and Objection period, followed by the remaining stages set out below. The place of posting is Shahapur, Surapur, Yadgir and Gurumatkal taluks of Yadgir district, Karnataka.

The entire process is completed online, from registration through to fee payment and the final printout of the confirmation page. Check the notification for whether a correction window is offered, because most fields cannot be amended once the form is submitted.

Read the official notification in full before you begin the form. Eligibility, fees and dates are revised through corrigenda more often than candidates expect, and an application submitted against the wrong criteria is rejected at document verification rather than at submission — by which point the cycle is over.
