Helpers will be responsible for maintaining hygiene in the anganwadi centre, preparing nutritious meals, and ensuring the safe transport of children to anganwadis.
Operated under the ICDS, anganwadis provide nutritional meals, growth monitoring, vaccination support, pre-school learning, and health awareness for children under six, as well as pregnant and lactating women. Importantly, they act as a bridge between communities and govt health services, ensuring that even in remote areas, women and children receive essential nutrition, healthcare, and education support.
