The Women and Child Development (WCD) Department, Chittoor district, has officially released a recruitment notification for 14 vacant positions under the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme. The openings include roles such as Centre Administrator, Office Assistant, and several other support staff positions across anganwadi centres in the district.
Candidates who wish to apply must submit their handwritten applications in person at the designated office address within the specified timeframe. The last date for receiving applications is March 9, 2026. No online applications are being accepted for this particular recruitment cycle.
The monthly salary for these positions falls within a range of ₹13,000 to ₹34,000, varying depending on the specific post and the educational qualifications required for each role. Entry-level support positions tend to be on the lower end of this spectrum, while administrative roles command higher pay scales.
While the official notification has not yet disclosed the full breakdown of all 14 posts and their respective qualification criteria, recruitment drives of this nature under the ICDS umbrella typically seek individuals with intermediate or degree-level education, along with basic computer literacy for office-facing roles. Candidates are generally required to possess proficiency in Telugu and English for communication purposes.
The recruitment is part of the ongoing effort by the Andhra Pradesh state government to strengthen frontline healthcare and nutrition delivery systems in rural and semi-urban areas. Anganwadi centres serve as critical nodes for maternal and child health services, supplementary nutrition programs, and early childhood care across the state. Strengthening the administrative backbone of these centres through dedicated staff helps ensure smoother functioning and better service delivery to vulnerable populations.
Interested and eligible candidates are advised to carefully read the official notification once released, verify their eligibility against the prescribed educational and age criteria, and submit their applications well before the deadline to avoid any last-minute complications.
