The Women and Child Development Department (WCD) of Rajasthan has initiated a massive recruitment drive for Anganwadi centers across the state, bringing a major employment opportunity for female candidates. According to recent departmental notifications, applications are currently being invited on a district-wise basis for various honorary and permanent posts, including Anganwadi Workers (Karyakarta), Helpers (Sahayika), and Supervisors.
With an estimated 8,000+ vacancies expected to be filled across Rajasthan in 2026, the state government aims to strengthen rural and urban childcare and maternal health services.
