The Child Development Project Officer (Urban), Amravati City East is hiring 13 people for Anganwadi Sevika and Anganwadi Madatnis (Helper) posts — Honorary Service positions requiring at least a 12th pass. Two posts need Urdu language ability and eleven need Marathi. Offline applications run from 2 September 2026 to 17 September 2026.

Who Should Apply

• Anganwadi Sevika, Urdu Linguistic (2 posts) — 12th pass candidates with Urdu language ability, for running an Anganwadi centre

• Anganwadi Madatnis, Urdu Linguistic (1 post) — 12th pass candidates with Urdu language ability, in the same helper role

All three are Honorary Service positions — meaning they carry a monthly honorarium rather than a fixed salary, in line with how Anganwadi posts work across Maharashtra and most other states.

How Are Candidates Selected

Merit list: Candidates are ranked on Educational Marks (80 marks) plus Additional Marks (20 marks) — there's no written exam for these posts, consistent with how most Anganwadi Worker/Helper recruitment works across India.

Document Verification: Candidates who make the merit list must have their documents verified before final selection.

Why This Job Matters

Anganwadi centres are the frontline of India's Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme, delivering nutrition, pre-school education, and basic health support to children and mothers at the community level. This particular drive is notable for its language-specific posts — reserving roles for Urdu-speaking candidates alongside the more common Marathi-language posts — reflecting the linguistic makeup of the communities these centres serve in Amravati City East.

The FreshersLike Take

Best fit: A strong fit for local women in Amravati City East who meet the 12th pass qualification and want community-facing work close to home, especially if you speak Urdu and want one of the two Urdu-linguistic posts where competition may be narrower.

Who should think twice: These are Honorary Service posts with a monthly honorarium rather than a fixed government salary or long-term service guarantees — if steady salaried income and formal service benefits matter most to you, weigh this against other government postings before applying.

Practical tip: Selection is purely on educational marks plus additional marks — there's no interview or written test to prepare for — so your final mark sheet percentage is what decides your rank; make sure the certified copies you submit clearly show your actual marks/percentage, since unclear photocopies can hurt your merit-list position.

Documents Required

• Educational certificates and mark sheets (12th pass, self-attested)
• Photograph
• Signature
• ID proof
