Saharanpur Anganwadi Worker 2026 — 250 Posts, Apply by 11 Aug (UP)

The Office of the District Programme Officer, Saharanpur, has notified 250 Anganwadi Karyakartri posts on an honorarium basis under the Bal Vikas Pariyojana operating across urban and rural Saharanpur district, Uttar Pradesh. The notice, numbered C-785/Jila Karyakram Adhikari/Bal Vikas Pariyojana/Vigyapti/2026-27, is dated 21 July 2026 and runs under Government Order Sankhya-2025/3313/58-1-2025 dated 17 September 2025. Applications close on 11 August 2026 at midnight, online only through upanganwadibharti.in. The 250 posts span 12 project areas. Shahar, the city project, holds the largest share at 47, followed by Nagal 34, Deoband 27, Nakur 23, and Baliyakhedi and Muzaffarabad with 22 each. Sarsawa has 16, Sadhauli Kadeem 14, Nanauta and Rampur Maniharan 13 each, Purwarka 12, and Gangoh 7. Category-wise the district total is 133 Unreserved, 62 Scheduled Caste, 55 Other Backward Class and no Scheduled Tribe posts. Reservation is applied strictly: a post reserved for a category accepts applications only from that category, while unreserved posts are open to candidates of any caste. Only women may apply, and each applicant must be a resident of the ward or gram sabha where the vacant post lies; if no eligible candidate of the applicable category exists there, residents of the concerned Nyay Panchayat become eligible. Within each ward or gram sabha a priority order governs selection: a widow, legally divorced or deserted woman from a BPL family comes first, then any other BPL woman, then a widow, divorced or deserted woman from an above-poverty-line family, and finally other above-poverty-line women. Residence, caste and income certificates are accepted only if issued online by the Tehsil with a digital signature — manually issued or offline certified copies are rejected. The notification also warns that forged or tampered documents lead to immediate cancellation of candidature or appointment, and to an FIR under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
