Each centre is reserved for a category, and the centre-wise list (Annexure in the notification PDF) shows the gram panchayat or ward and the reserved category. Only candidates of the category reserved for that centre are considered. A centre goes to SC or ST when that group is more than 40% of the village or ward population, and the largest such group gets the post. This is not the usual government reservation, because the notice says government post reservation principles do not apply to these honorary posts.
What Is the Eligibility for Anganwadi Worker and Helper in Bidar 2026?
The first thing to check is the language rule. Both posts need Kannada studied as a first or second language, and for the Worker post you also need PUC.

| SSLC studied in another state | Considered only if the maximum and minimum marks match; otherwise only candidates who studied in Karnataka are considered |
If your mother tongue is not Kannada, the district selection committee may test your Kannada reading and writing at selection. In areas where more than 25% of the population is a minority (Muslim, Christian, Jain, Buddhist, Parsi, Sikh), candidates who know that community’s language along with Kannada are selected.
