UP Varanasi Anganwadi Recruitment 2026: Notification for 187 Karyakartri Posts

The District Programme Officer, Child Development, Varanasi, has released the UP Varanasi Anganwadi Recruitment 2026 notification for 187 Anganwadi Karyakartri posts across nine projects in the district. This UP Anganwadi recruitment is open only to women who are permanent residents of the specific ward or gram sabha where a post is vacant. Online applications are open through upanganwadibharti.in and close at midnight on 31 July 2026. There's no written exam or interview here; selection runs entirely on a merit list built from your educational marks.

UP runs Anganwadi Karyakartri recruitment district by district and project-by-project. Under rolling government orders, there is no single, centrally published cutoff or vacancy history specific to Varanasi; the notification supersedes this. Each recruitment cycle draws from a different, hyperlocal pool of applicants tied to that ward or gram sabha, so merit scores don't carry over or compare cleanly from one cycle to the next.

Since there's no exam to prepare for, your entire focus should go into two things: your qualification marks and your paperwork. - Marks: If you hold a graduation or postgraduate degree on top of intermediate, make sure both are entered correctly; the added marks directly raise your merit position. - Paperwork: Residence, caste, and income certificates are accepted only if they are Tehsil-issued, digitally signed, and verifiable online. A certificate that doesn't meet this standard can get your application rejected regardless of your marks. - Residency: Double-check that you are applying against a vacancy in your own ward or gram sabha; this requirement is checked and enforced, not a formality.

This is not a salaried government post; it's an honorarium-based appointment, and UP's state employee service rules don't apply to it. -Base honorarium: Rs. 4,500 per month - Additional honorarium: Rs. 1,500 per month - Total: Rs. 6,000 per month

The notification does not mention an application fee for Anganwadi Karyakartri recruitment in Varanasi, and the official advertisement confirms that no payment is required to apply.
