Abstract	The job satisfaction and financial stability of Anganwadi Workers operating under the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) program in Amravati District, Maharashtra, have been investigated in this study. The provision of vital health, nutrition, and early childhood education services has been greatly aided by Anganwadi Workers; yet, their contributions have frequently been compromised by poor honoraria, erratic payments, inadequate social security, and difficult working circumstances. The goal of the current study has been to comprehend how these organizational and financial aspects have affected their general well-being, motivation, and job satisfaction. Using a descriptive and analytical research approach, the study gathered primary data from 370 Anganwadi Workers who were chosen by stratified random sampling from Amravati District's tribal, rural, and urban districts. Data on the work environment, compensation, recognition, socioeconomic background, and financial responsibility have been collected through structured questionnaires and interviews. Government papers, ICDS records, and published research projects have all provided secondary data. The links between job satisfaction, financial stability, and socioeconomic characteristics have been investigated using statistical tools such correlation analysis, regression analysis, ANOVA, and chi-square testing. The results show that Anganwadi Workers' job happiness has been greatly impacted by financial stability, prompt honorarium payments, acknowledgment, and encouraging work conditions. The study has brought attention to the necessity of legislative changes pertaining to professional growth, social security benefits, regular compensation, and financial literacy. Policymakers and administrators looking to improve the sustainability and efficacy of the ICDS program can benefit from the research's empirical and localized insights.
