UP Anganwadi Worker Helper Recruitment 2026

About This Recruitment

UP Anganwadi recruitment is not issued as one single combined state form. District Programme Officers publish notices separately for their district, project, gram sabha or urban ward vacancies. Because of this, the number of posts, reservation table and last date can be different for Meerut, Baghpat, Kannauj, Prayagraj, Bijnor, Muzaffarnagar and other districts.

The recruitment is meant for local level Anganwadi services under ICDS. Anganwadi Workers and Helpers support nutrition, pre-school activities, health awareness, immunization coordination and community-level child and women welfare work. Most notices require female candidates and local residence of the concerned gram sabha, ward, nyaya panchayat or project area.

Candidates should not rely only on social media posts or third-party summaries. First open the official UP Anganwadi portal, choose the correct post type and district, download the district notification, check the vacancy table and then submit the online form within the deadline.
