Rajasthan Anganwadi Bharti 2026 district wise is closed. Every one of the sixteen district windows this page tracked has passed, the last of them Barmer on 06.08.2026, which was 35 days ago. Anyone still being shown an open form for these districts is reading a stale page. We also checked the state department’s own recruitment register on 10.09.2026, and it is worth knowing what is not in it before you spend an evening hunting for your district’s merit list.
Position on 10.09.2026
Two separate things were checked today, the district windows themselves and the Women and Child Development department’s own document register. Neither carries anything live for this recruitment.
| Rajasthan Anganwadi bharti status | Position on 10.09.2026 |
|---|---|
| District windows | All sixteen have closed, Barmer last on 06.08.2026. |
| State register | 78 recruitment entries, the newest dated 31.07.2026. |
| Anganwadi ads on portal | The latest district ads for these posts are from 2023, not 2026. |
| Department homepage | It has no recruitment section. |
| Merit list | Merit lists are declared at project level, not centrally. |
| Next round | No new round has been announced. |
Note: The cycle had been shut for 35 days on 10.09.2026. The newest register entry is a fourth-class document verification order. The homepage carries press releases, nutrition orders and tenders. Watch for a fresh district notice rather than a state advertisement, since rounds run in waves.

Note: Checked on 10.09.2026. On the register, set Type to Recruitment Related. The WCD portal has no recruitment section. ICDS runs the Anganwadi centres. District notices are posted on the project office board. The central ministry frames the Saksham Anganwadi and Poshan 2.0 scheme.
State portal gap for your district
This is what sends people in circles. The department does publish a searchable register of its own recruitment documents, and we read all 78 entries in it today. The 2026 Anganwadi district cycle is not in it, and was never going to be.
| Anganwadi notice on state portal | Found on 10.09.2026 |
|---|---|
| Total recruitment entries | 78 entries covering the whole department over several years. |
| Newest entry | A fourth-class DV order of 31.07.2026, not Anganwadi. |
| Newest Anganwadi ads | Churu 30.05.2023, Jhunjhunu 02.06.2023, Tonk 07.06.2023, Bharatpur 27.06.2023. |
| 2024 entries | Mahila Supervisor recruitment papers, a different process. |
| Meaning for applicants | District notices never reach the state portal. |
| Notice location | At the CDPO office of your project area. |
Note: The 2023 ads are three years old. Mahila Supervisor is the grade above Anganwadi Worker. Finding nothing on the state portal does not mean your district never advertised. The provisional and final merit lists are also posted at the CDPO office.
The sixteen windows this page tracked, and when each closed

Eligibility and local merit list
There is no written exam anywhere in this process. Merit comes off your marksheet and a weightage table, and it is settled inside your own project area rather than against the whole state, which is why the odds are nothing like a state-level recruitment.
| Anganwadi eligibility | How it works |
|---|---|
| Eligible applicants | Married local women from the centre’s ward or village. |
| Education | 10th pass for helper, 12th pass for worker and mini worker. |
| Age limit | 21 to 40 years for general, with district relaxations. |
| Exam | There is no written exam. |
| Merit | You compete only with applicants for your own centre area. |
| Objections | Heard at the project office before the final list. |
| Fee | There is no fee in any district or category. |
Note: The residence rule is applied strictly. Check your district notice for its own age relaxations. The CDPO office builds merit from academic marks plus weightage for higher qualification, widow or divorced status and other listed criteria. A provisional list comes first, then document verification. The process is offline, so there is no payment stage.
Applying offline, and what an honorarium engagement means
Worth reading before the next round opens. The form goes in by hand, an incomplete one is simply set aside, and nobody rings to tell you. The last two rows cover what the job actually is, which is not what most applicants assume when they submit.
- Watch your own project office notice board for the district notification, because it will not appear on the state portal.
- Fill the district’s printed application form by hand. There is no common state form and no online submission.
- Attach self-attested marksheets, Aadhaar, marriage proof, local residence proof for the ward, and a caste certificate where you claim one.
- Submit at the CDPO office of your project area, or the collection point the notice names, before your district’s own last date.
- Ask for an acknowledgement receipt, since there is no application number to check online afterwards.
| Anganwadi apply offline | Detail |
|---|---|
| Submission point | At the CDPO office or the collection point in the notice. |
| Documents | Marksheets, Aadhaar, marriage and residence proof, caste certificate, photos. |
| Receipt | Take an acknowledgement, it is your only proof. |
| Results | On the project office notice board, not a website. |
| Job type | An honorarium engagement, not a regular government post. |
| Promotion | Helper to worker, and worker to the supervisor quota. |
Note: There is no common state form and no online submission. Marksheets are self-attested. Residence proof can be a ward ration card or voter ID. There is no application number to check online later. The monthly honorarium is set by the state, revised from time to time, and differs for workers, mini workers and helpers. The Mahila Supervisor grade is recruited separately and appears on the state register.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Rajasthan Anganwadi Bharti 2026 still open?
No. All sixteen district windows this page tracked have closed. Barmer was the last, on 06.08.2026, which is 35 days before this check on 10.09.2026. Eight further districts including Churu, Udaipur and Hanumangarh closed even earlier, between 30.06.2026 and 09.07.2026. Any page still showing an open form for these districts is stale.
Why can I not find my district's Anganwadi notification on the WCD Rajasthan site?
Because district Anganwadi notices are not published there. We read all 78 entries in the department's Recruitment Related register on 10.09.2026. The newest Anganwadi worker, mini worker and helper district advertisements in it are from 2023, and nothing from the 2026 cycle appears. These notices are issued by your district CDPO office and posted on its notice board.
Where is the Rajasthan Anganwadi merit list published?
At the project office, not centrally. The CDPO office puts up a provisional list, holds document verification, hears objections, and then publishes the final list on the same notice board. There is no state-level merit list and no application number to track online, which is why the acknowledgement receipt you get when submitting matters.
Is there a written exam for Anganwadi worker or helper posts in Rajasthan?
No. The CDPO office prepares a merit list from academic marks, with weightage for higher qualification, widow or divorced status and other criteria set out in the district notification. Because merit is settled within your own centre area rather than across the district or state, candidates with ordinary marks still compete realistically.
Is an Anganwadi worker a permanent government employee?
No. These are honorarium-based engagements rather than regular government posts. The state sets the monthly honorarium and revises it periodically, and it differs between workers, mini workers and helpers. Departmental progression does exist inside ICDS, from helper to worker and from worker into the supervisor quota.
