UP Anganwadi Worker (Amethi) 2026 — 172 Posts, Apply by 21 Sep

UP Anganwadi Worker (Amethi) Recruitment 2026 (172 Posts), Apply Online by 21 September 2026 in Uttar Pradesh. The Office of the District Programme Officer (DPO), Amethi, under the Department of Child Development Services and Pushtahar, Uttar Pradesh, has released Notification No. C-2615/District Magistrate/Recruitment/2026-27 inviting online applications for 172 posts of Anganwadi Worker (Karyakatri) across 13 Bal Vikas Pariyojnas in Amethi district. This is a UP government job 2026 opportunity open only to female candidates who are permanent residents of the ward or gram sabha to which the vacant post belongs. Eligible candidates meeting the residence, age, and qualification criteria below can apply online at upanganwadibharti.in before the deadline. Anganwadi Workers form the frontline delivery mechanism of India's Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme, run by the Ministry of Women and Child Development, which provides supplementary nutrition, health check-ups, immunisation referral, and pre-school non-formal education to children under six years, along with nutrition and health awareness for pregnant and lactating mothers. In Uttar Pradesh, recruitment to these posts is decentralised to the district level, with each District Programme Officer inviting separate applications for the anganwadi centres falling within their district's Bal Vikas Pariyojnas (Child Development Projects) — which is why this Amethi-specific drive exists alongside similar ongoing recruitments in other UP districts. The distinct residence requirement tied to each ward or gram sabha reflects the scheme's design principle that an Anganwadi Worker should be a known, trusted local resident of the community she serves, rather than an outside appointee. Candidates should also note that the notification's own reservation and vacancy figures are subject to change: it states any discrepancy relating to vacancies or category reservation will be resolved by the selection committee before further action, and that committee's decision is treated as final with no further correspondence entertained. Selected Anganwadi Workers will run anganwadi centres within their allotted ward or gram sabha across Amethi district, delivering early childhood care, nutrition, and pre-school education services under the Integrated Child Development Services scheme. The UP Anganwadi Worker 2026 selection process involves no written examination or interview; instead, a merit list is prepared using a marks-based weightage formula covering Intermediate, Graduate, and Postgraduate qualifications, combined with verification of residence, age, and category documents. The engagement for UP Anganwadi Worker 2026 is on an honorarium/contract basis, governed by Government Order No. 1/1092245/2025/3313/58-1-2025 dated 17 September 2025.
