Who Can Apply?
Only women and transgender women can apply for these posts. The age limit is 19 to 35 years, with a relaxation of 10 years for persons with disabilities. The notice does not print a date as on which age is counted — that information has not been officially announced yet.
The most important condition is local residence. For a rural centre, the candidate must live in the revenue village of that centre; for an urban centre, in the revenue ward of that centre. A residence verification certificate for three years from the Tahsildar or Deputy Tahsildar is required, along with an Aadhaar card, ration card or voter ID card.
What Is the Qualification for Worker and Helper?
| Post | Educational Qualification |
|---|---|
| Anganwadi Worker | Minimum PUC pass; must have studied Kannada as first or second language in SSLC |
| Anganwadi Helper | Minimum SSLC or equivalent pass; must have studied Kannada as first or second language |
For the Worker post, candidates with an ECCE diploma (D.S.E.R.T), JOC course, NTT course, Diploma in Nutrition, Home Science certificate course or one-year nursery/pre-primary training get first preference and 5 bonus marks. Candidates whose mother tongue is not Kannada may be asked to read and write Kannada at the time of selection.
How Will Selection Be Done? Is There an Exam?
There is no written examination in this recruitment. Selection is made on merit, based on the marks obtained in the prescribed qualification, with bonus marks added where the notice allows. If two candidates have equal marks, the older candidate is considered first; if the ages are also equal, a widow is considered.
Bonus marks: acid attack victim women, persons with disabilities, daughters of former Devadasis, project-displaced persons and divorced women get 5 marks; residents of department reformatory institutions or State women’s homes (at least 3 years) get 10 marks. Widows are selected directly on third preference — among widows, the widow of a farmer who committed suicide gets first preference. The husband’s death certificate is compulsory; proof of widow pension will not be accepted.
Note that these are temporary, honorarium-based honorary service posts. Government reservation principles for government posts do not apply to them. A post is reserved for a scheduled category when more than 40% of the population covered by the centre belongs to scheduled categories.
