Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is Anganwadi Worker a permanent government job?

Anganwadi Workers (AWW) and Helpers (AWH) are honorary workers, not permanent government employees. They receive an honorarium (not salary) which has been increasing over time (central government contribution + state top-up). However, many states are now providing NPS pension benefits and health insurance to AWWs. They are not entitled to regular government service benefits like PF, Gratuity, or paid leave.

2. Can male candidates apply for Anganwadi Worker posts?

No, Anganwadi Worker and Helper posts are exclusively for female candidates as per the ICDS guidelines. This is because the work involves serving women and children in the community, and female workers are considered more appropriate for the role. Anganwadi Supervisor posts in some states may be open to both genders.

Central government monthly honorarium (as of 2024-25): AWW ₹4,500 (enhanced from ₹3,000), AWH ₹2,250 (enhanced from ₹1,500). State governments add their contribution on top.
