District-Wise Bihar Anganwadi Updates
The following table summarises the relevant district notices located during this check. Some notices concern selection or promotion of existing Anganwadi workers rather than fresh recruitment for all applicants. Read the notice title carefully before applying.
| District | Available update | Date / next step |
|---|---|---|
| Aurangabad | A notice is listed for Anganwadi Sevika recruitment at Diwan Bigha, code 198, Ward 7, Obra Block. The district site also lists a recruitment-process notice and merit-list-related updates. | The listing shows 30 October 2026 as the end date for the Diwan Bigha notice. Read the original advertisement and application format to confirm the procedure and who can apply. |
| Kaimur (Bhabhua) | The district recruitment page lists revised online application dates and a contractual appointment notice for promotion from Sevika to Female Supervisor. | The revised listing shows 7 November 2026 as the end date. This is an internal Sevika-to-Supervisor process, not a general fresh Helper or Worker vacancy. |
| Other districts | A fresh, district-specific open vacancy could not be confirmed from the notices reviewed for this article. | Check the official district website, Recruitment / Notices section and the local ICDS office for new advertisements. |
District notices can be updated, corrected or withdrawn. A notice visible on a district website may refer to an older advertisement, a merit list, a revised date or an internal promotion process. Always open the original PDF before relying on the dates shown in a listing.

You can also visit the Bihar Aangan Portal and contact the relevant district ICDS office if you cannot locate the current notice.
Eligibility for Bihar Anganwadi Worker and Helper
Eligibility is determined by the recruitment guidelines and the specific advertisement. The following are items to check, not universal eligibility conditions for every vacancy.
- Residence: Check whether the applicant must be a resident of the specified ward, village, panchayat or local area.
- Educational qualification: Verify the minimum qualification required for the advertised post.
- Age limit: Check the minimum and maximum age, the applicable calculation date and any permitted relaxation.
- Category and reservation: Read the applicable reservation rules and required certificates.
- Post type: Confirm whether the notice is for a fresh Sevika/Sahayika appointment or promotion of an existing Anganwadi worker.
- Other conditions: Review all local eligibility requirements and disqualifying conditions mentioned in the advertisement.
Do not rely on a general age limit or qualification quoted on an unofficial website. The notification for your district and post is the controlling document.
Documents to Keep Ready
Depending on the advertisement, applicants may need some or all of the following documents:
- Recent photograph and signature, if requested.
- Educational certificates and mark sheets.
- Residence or local-area proof, where required.
- Age proof.
- Category certificate, if applicable.
- Identity proof and any additional documents specified in the notification.
- Application acknowledgement and relevant supporting certificates.
Submit only the documents requested by the official notice and make sure that the information matches the application form.
Selection Process
The selection process can vary by post and recruitment rules. The official notice may specify document verification, preparation of a merit list, objection handling or other selection stages. Do not assume that every vacancy uses the same examination or merit formula.
- Read the relevant district advertisement.
- Submit the application in the prescribed format within the deadline.
- Check the district website for provisional merit lists or verification notices.
- Follow any objection, document-verification or meeting instructions stated in the notice.
- Check the final selection list and appointment instructions from the official authority.

Application mode and dates are not identical across all districts. Follow the instructions in the specific vacancy notice.
Step 1: Find the notification
Locate the advertisement on your district administration website or the official ICDS portal.
Step 2: Check local eligibility
Confirm the post, local area, education, age criteria and documents before filling out the form.

Salary and Honorarium
Anganwadi Worker and Helper payments may be described as honorarium and can be governed by state or central assistance rules and applicable updates. The exact amount should be checked in the current official notification or government order. Do not assume a salary figure from an old advertisement applies to a 2026 appointment.

- Verify the last date and any revised schedule on the official district website.
- Avoid paying unauthorised agents for a job or selection guarantee.
