Short Information: The Office of the Child Development Project Officer, Poshan Project URI (Baramulla, J&K) has invited applications for engagement of Sangini (Anganwadi Workers) and Sahayika (Anganwadi Helpers) across various Anganwadi Centres in the URI block, on a purely local honorarium basis. This is a village/ward-specific opening — only women residents of the exact Panch Ward where the Anganwadi Centre is located are eligible to apply, making it a hyperlocal community-based engagement rather than a state-wide recruitment. Candidates for the Sangini (AWW) post must be at least 10+2 pass and not more than Graduate, while Sahayika (AWH) candidates need a minimum qualification of Matriculation, with preference given to married women. The age bracket for both posts is 18 to 37 years as reckoned on 01 January 2026. There is no written examination here — selection is done purely through a merit-based weightage of 10+2 marks for AWW and other locally verified criteria for AWH, followed by document verification by the selection committee. Applications along with self-attested documents and a notarized affidavit must be submitted physically to the CDPO Office near Toll Post Lagama within 15 days of the notice's publication date of 29 June 2026.

💡 Expert Tip

Since eligibility here is tied strictly to your Panch Ward, make sure your name appears in the electoral/voter list of the exact ward against which the Anganwadi Centre vacancy is notified — this Panch Ward Certificate from the concerned BDO is the single most important document, and a mismatch here leads to straightforward rejection regardless of your marks. If you're claiming preference as a family member of a retiring AWW/AWH, keep the e-ration card or valid proof ready, as it adds 2% weightage to your merit score. Also remember, exceeding the maximum qualification limit (Graduate for AWW, Class 10 for AWH) disqualifies you outright — this is one of the few recruitments where being 'overqualified' works against you.
