Understanding Anganwadi Salary Structure (2025)
The Anganwadi Worker (AWW) and Helper (AWH) salary structure in India is unique because it is technically an “Honorarium” rather than a standard salary. This honorarium is jointly funded by the Central Government and the respective State Governments, leading to variations in the final payout across India.
📌 Components of Your Monthly Salary
- Central Share (Fixed): The base amount provided by the Government of India. Currently, it is typically ₹4,500 for Main Workers, ₹3,500 for Mini Workers, and ₹2,250 for Helpers.
- State Share (Variable): This is the “Top-up” added by your State. For example, states like Telangana and Delhi add a significant amount (₹6,000 to ₹9,000+), whereas others may add less.
- PLI (Performance Linked Incentive): Under the Poshan Abhiyaan, workers can earn an extra ₹500 (and Helpers ₹250) by successfully tracking beneficiaries using the Poshan Tracker App.
