The Government of Jammu and Kashmir has announced the Anganwadi Helper Recruitment 2025 under the POSHAN Project in Baniyar, Baramulla. This recruitment drive is a crucial step toward empowering local women by offering honorarium-based positions to support child welfare and community development initiatives. The recruitment focuses on filling vacancies specifically in the Naganari Ward of Baramulla, with a preference for destitute and needy married women residing in the designated electoral wards. This article provides a detailed overview of the eligibility criteria, application process, and significance of this recruitment.
Overview of the Recruitment
The recruitment is being conducted by the Child Development Project Officer (CDPO) of the POSHAN Project Baniyar. There are a total of three vacancies available for the position of Sahayika, or Anganwadi Helper, across three Anganwadi Centres in the Naganari Ward. The government has set the application deadline for May 31, 2025. Eligible candidates must be between 18 and 37 years old, with a minimum education qualification of matriculation (10th pass). However, candidates who have completed 8th standard may also be considered if there are no applicants with matriculation. The recruitment aims to engage women who are residents of the specific electoral wards corresponding to each Anganwadi Centre.
Eligibility Criteria for Anganwadi Helper Positions
To qualify for the Anganwadi Helper recruitment, candidates must fulfill several key conditions. First, they must be residents of Jammu and Kashmir, specifically living in the electoral ward where the Anganwadi Centre is located. Age limits have been set between 18 and 37 years. Educational qualifications require candidates to have passed the 10th grade; however, 8th-grade pass candidates can also be considered if no matriculates are available. The recruitment prioritizes married women, especially those who are destitute or in need, although unmarried women may apply if no married applicants come forward. This preference ensures that the recruitment supports vulnerable women within the community, fostering both economic independence and social development.
Details of Vacancies and Locations
The recruitment is for three specific Anganwadi Centres situated in the Naganari Ward of Baramulla. These centres are named Shamaswari Naganari (Ward No. 5), Kumar Mohallah Manzgam (Ward No. 8), and Pethpora Manzgam (Ward No. 9). Each vacancy is tied to the respective ward, and it is mandatory for applicants to be residents of the electoral ward associated with the Anganwadi Centre they are applying for. This ward-specific approach ensures that the local community directly benefits from the recruitment, strengthening grassroots participation in child welfare programs.
How to Apply for the Anganwadi Helper Recruitment
The application process for the Anganwadi Helper position is straightforward but requires careful adherence to instructions.
