Short Information: The District Programme Officer, Mainpuri has invited online applications from eligible women candidates for 144 Anganwadi Karyakartri (Worker) and Sahayika (Helper) posts across 10 Child Development Projects (Bal Vikas Pariyojnas) in the district — Barnahal, Bewar, Jagir, Ghiror, Karhal, Kishni, Kuravali, Mainpuri Shahar, Mainpuri Dehat, and Sultanganj. Out of the total, 74 posts are for Anganwadi Karyakartri and 70 posts are for Sahayika. If you are a woman aged between 18 and 35 years (as on the cutoff date 01 July 2026) with at least an Intermediate (12th) pass, you can apply through the departmental portal upanganwadibharti.in. Merit is prepared based on the candidate's highest educational qualification, up to postgraduate level, so higher marks and higher qualifications genuinely improve your ranking. What makes this recruitment distinct from typical government exams is that there is no written test — selection instead follows a structured priority order that gives preference to widows, legally divorced, and abandoned women living below the poverty line from the same gram sabha or ward, before moving to other BPL and then APL women in the same sequence. Online applications open from 10 July 2026 and close at midnight on 30 July 2026. Since this process runs project-wise and category-wise, candidates should check the exact reservation break-up for their own project before applying.

Recruitment Note: About the Department (ICDS - Bal Vikas Seva evam Pushtahar, UP)

The Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme, run in Uttar Pradesh through the Bal Vikas Seva evam Pushtahar Department, is one of the country's largest community-based programmes for early childhood care, nutrition, and pre-school education. It operates through a network of Anganwadi centres at the village and ward level, each staffed by a Karyakartri (Worker) and a Sahayika (Helper), overseen by Child Development Project Officers (CDPOs) and coordinated district-wide by the District Programme Officer (DPO). In Mainpuri district, the scheme functions across 10 Bal Vikas Pariyojnas covering both rural blocks and urban wards, delivering supplementary nutrition, health referrals, and pre-school learning to children under six years of age, along with support for pregnant and lactating women.

Recruitment Note: Job Profile — Anganwadi Karyakartri & Sahayika

The Anganwadi Karyakartri is the lead functionary at the centre, responsible for pre-school activities for children aged 3-6, growth monitoring of children under 6, referral of malnourished or sick children to health facilities, maintaining registers under the ICDS scheme, and coordinating with ASHA workers and ANMs during health and immunization drives. The Sahayika supports the Karyakartri in daily operations — preparing and serving supplementary nutrition, keeping the centre clean and functional, assisting with outreach to families in the assigned area, and helping manage attendance of children and beneficiaries. Both roles are community-facing and require regular presence at the assigned anganwadi centre.

Recruitment Note: Nature of Engagement & Honorarium

Anganwadi Karyakartri and Sahayika positions in Uttar Pradesh are honorarium-based community positions under the ICDS scheme rather than regular salaried government posts. The exact honorarium amount is not specified in this notification and is governed separately by state government orders and periodic revisions issued by the Bal Vikas Seva evam Pushtahar Department. Candidates are advised to check official department circulars or the local CDPO/DPO office for the latest applicable honorarium rates before applying.

💡 Expert Tip

Read the priority flow chart in the notification carefully before assuming you automatically qualify — the selection order strictly goes Widow → Legally Divorced/Abandoned → Other Woman, first within the Below Poverty Line (BPL) group and only then within the Above Poverty Line (APL) group. A widow's death certificate and family register must come from the Gram Panchayat Officer or the concerned Nagar Nikay, and divorced or abandoned status must be backed by a valid court order — informal declarations will not be accepted. Only digitally signed residence and caste certificates issued online through the Tehsil are valid, and income certificates must be issued by the competent authority as per the applicable government order; both must be verifiable online, so paper-only certificates from before the digital system will likely get your application rejected. Applications, along with all self-attested scanned documents, must be submitted only through upanganwadibharti.in — offline or postal submissions are not accepted, and any mismatch between your form entries and uploaded documents can lead to cancellation of candidature.
