Hathras UP Anganwadi Recruitment 2026 — 252 Posts, Apply by 13 Oct

Office of the District Programme Officer, Hathras, has released a notification for 252 posts of Anganwadi Karyakatri (Worker) and Sahayika (Helper) — 15 Worker and 237 Helper posts — across 8 Child Development Projects in Hathras district, Uttar Pradesh. Only female candidates aged 18 to 35 years, holding Intermediate (12th) pass or a higher qualification up to Postgraduate for merit calculation, can apply online at upanganwadibharti.in from 23 September 2026 to 13 October 2026. Selected Anganwadi Workers and Helpers will support early childhood care, nutrition and pre-school education services at Anganwadi Kendras across Hathras district's 8 blocks, including Sadabad, Hathras Gramin, Sikandararau, and Mursan. The selection process is a merit list based on marks obtained in Intermediate, Graduation and Postgraduate examinations, with ties broken first by higher age, then by higher qualification — there is no written examination or interview. These are honorarium-based direct recruitment posts, with no application fee mentioned in the notification. Candidates for Hathras Anganwadi Recruitment 2026 must visit upanganwadibharti.in, identify the vacant Anganwadi Kendra relevant to their Ward or Gram Sabha, fill the online application carefully, upload self-attested scanned documents, and submit before 13 October 2026. Candidates must read the complete official notification PDF before applying, since applicants must be residents of the same Ward/Gram Sabha as the vacancy, with strict priority given first to widowed, divorced or abandoned women from BPL families, and reservation applying only to candidates of the specified category for reserved posts. Anganwadi Kendras form the backbone of India's Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme, delivering supplementary nutrition, pre-school non-formal education, health check-ups, and referral services to children under 6 years and expectant/nursing mothers at the village and ward level. Hathras district's 252-post drive fills a substantial share of vacant Kendra positions across its 8 blocks in one coordinated cycle, with Sadabad and Hathras Gramin projects carrying the largest Helper vacancy counts at 51 and 42 respectively. Since these are honorarium-based Anganwadi posts rather than salaried government jobs in the traditional sense, candidates should confirm the exact monthly honorarium rate applicable in Uttar Pradesh directly from the district office, as the official notification for this cycle does not itemise the figure separately.

Intermediate (12th) pass or equivalent minimum; Graduation/Postgraduate marks also counted for merit if held. Female candidates only.

Applicants should note that the selection priority framework is applied strictly at the Gram Sabha level first, meaning a woman from a BPL family in a neighbouring Gram Sabha does not get preference over any eligible woman, regardless of category, within the specific Gram Sabha where the vacancy exists. Vacancy-Increase Note — The official notification explicitly states that the number of vacancies at each project may increase or decrease before final selection, so candidates should recheck the live vacancy count at their specific Anganwadi Kendra closer to the application deadline. Document Matching — All uploaded documents must precisely match the details entered in the online form; any discrepancy, incorrect fact or figure, or suspected tampering leads to outright rejection of the application, per the notification's explicit warning.
