UP Anganwadi Worker / Helper 2026 — Overview
Anganwadi centres are village-level child-care and mother-care centres run under the ICDS (Integrated Child Development Services) scheme of the Uttar Pradesh Government. To fill empty posts, the Bal Vikas Seva Evam Pushtahar Vibhag (Child Development and Nutrition Department) releases recruitment notices district by district. This drive covers four districts — Agra, Mathura, Baghpat and Bijnor — with a total of 1,192 vacancies for Anganwadi Worker, Anganwadi Helper and Mini Anganwadi Worker.
This is a good chance for local women who want a stable, government-supported role in their own village or ward. The whole process is online, completely free, and there is no written test — so read the details below carefully before you apply.

- Anganwadi Helper (AWH) and Mini Anganwadi Worker: must have passed Class 10 (High School) from a recognised board.
- Residency: you must be a permanent resident of the same Gram Sabha (village council) or Ward where the post is advertised. This is a strict rule — you can only apply for a seat in your own area.

Selection Process
There is no written examination and no physical test. Candidates are selected on a merit list prepared from academic marks (your 10th or 12th percentage) plus any reservation or preference points allowed by the rules. After the merit list, shortlisted candidates go through document verification before the final selection. Because selection is on marks, make sure your uploaded certificates and details are fully correct.

Anganwadi staff are paid a fixed monthly honorarium set by the Uttar Pradesh Government, not a regular pay scale. The exact honorarium amount is mentioned in each district notice, so please refer to the official notice for your district for the current figure. We do not show a guessed amount here.
