UP Anganwadi Recruitment 2026 — 192 Worker Posts in Sant Kabir Nagar, Apply Online by 20 Aug

Is UP Anganwadi Recruitment 2026 for Sant Kabir Nagar district out? Yes — the Office of the District Programme Officer (Women & Child Development), Sant Kabir Nagar, has released a fresh notification for 192 Anganwadi Karyakatri (Anganwadi Worker) vacancies spread across 10 Bal Vikas Pariyojnas in the district, on an honorarium basis. This is a women-only recruitment drive under Uttar Pradesh's Integrated Child Development Services network, offering a community-based welfare role rather than a conventional salaried government post. The minimum qualification required is Intermediate (Class 12) or its equivalent, though the department prepares merit lists considering qualifications up to Postgraduate level wherever more than one eligible candidate exists in the same priority category and Gram Sabha/Ward. Applicants must be between 18 and 35 years of age as on 1 July 2026, and importantly, only women who are residents of the specific Ward or Gram Sabha where the vacancy exists are eligible to apply — if no eligible local candidate is found, the selection widens to the neighbouring Gram Panchayat within the same Nyaya Panchayat. Selection follows a defined social-priority order, starting with widows and divorced/deserted women from Below Poverty Line families in the same Gram Sabha, before moving to other BPL and then APL family candidates, with educational merit used as the tiebreaker within each category. Vacancies are distributed unevenly across the district's 10 project areas, ranging from just 1 post in Shahar (Urban) to 37 posts in Santha, so candidates should check the exact project-wise breakdown carefully before applying to the location nearest their residence. Applications must be submitted exclusively online through the dedicated portal upanganwadibharti.in — offline or postal applications will not be accepted under any circumstances — and the window closes at midnight on 20 August 2026. Given the residency-based eligibility and document requirements around BPL/APL status and caste certificates, applicants should gather income certificates, residence proof, and caste certificates from the Tehsil well in advance of applying.
