MP Anganwadi Worker and Helper Recruitment 2026 — Overview
The Women and Child Development Department, Madhya Pradesh (WCD) has released a big recruitment for Anganwadi posts across the state. Under Advertisement No. SAP-2/2026/2523, a total of 2,548 posts are to be filled — 781 Anganwadi Worker posts and 1,767 Anganwadi Helper posts. This is a great chance for women in Madhya Pradesh who want a stable government-linked job close to their own area.
Applications are made online through the MPOnline Chayan portal. The form window is short — it opened on 01 July 2026 and closes on 13 July 2026 — so eligible women should apply early. There is no written exam; the merit list is prepared from Class 12 marks, followed by document checking.

| Total | 2,548 |
Eligibility — Education, Age and Other Rules
Education: You should have passed Class 12 (10+2 Intermediate) from any recognised board in India. Keep your Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets ready, as the merit list is built from these marks.
Who can apply: Only women can apply. You must also be a permanent resident (local resident) of the area or project where the post is located, and you may need a residence/domicile proof for that area.
Age limit: Minimum 18 years and maximum 35 years, calculated as on 01 January 2026. Age relaxation is given to reserved categories as per Madhya Pradesh Government rules.

| Qualification | Class 12 (10+2) pass from a recognised board |
| Gender | Women only |

Salary (Honorarium)
These are honorarium-based posts, not regular pay-scale posts. This means the government pays a fixed monthly amount that is revised from time to time. As a rough guide, an Anganwadi Worker gets around Rs. 9,500 per month and an Anganwadi Helper gets around Rs. 4,500 to 5,000 per month. Always check the current honorarium in the official notice, as the figure can change.
| Post | Approx. Monthly Honorarium |
|---|---|
| Anganwadi Worker | Around Rs. 9,500 |
| Anganwadi Helper | Around Rs. 4,500 - 5,000 |
Selection Process
There is no written test for these posts. The selection is simple and merit-based:
- Merit list: Candidates are ranked on the marks of their Class 12 (and, where applied, Class 10) examination.
- Document verification (DV): Shortlisted candidates must show original documents — mark sheets, age proof, residence/domicile proof, caste certificate (if any) and identity proof.
Because there is no exam, your school marks decide your chances. Fill the form carefully, as wrong details can remove you from the merit list.

The Women and Child Development Department does not charge a government application fee for this recruitment. You only pay the small MPOnline portal service charge — about Rs. 100 plus GST — at the time of applying.
