The Office of the District Programme Officer (Bal Vikas Seva Evam Pushtahar Vibhag), Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh has released a recruitment notification dated 12 August 2026 for 146 vacant honorarium-based posts of Anganwadi Karyakartri (Anganwadi Worker) across 9 Bal Vikas Pariyojna (Child Development Project) areas of Muzaffarnagar district under the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) programme. The recruitment is governed by Administrative Order No. I/2025/3313/58-1-2025 (1917687) dated 17 September 2025. Only female candidates are eligible. Candidates must be permanent residents of the same Gram Sabha (rural) or the same ward (urban) for which they are applying. Selection is merit-based with no written exam and no interview – merit is calculated from the candidate’s highest qualification from Intermediate level to Postgraduate level. The minimum qualification is Intermediate (Class 12) or equivalent. Age limit is 18 to 35 years as on 1 July 2026. Applications are online only through upanganwadibharti.in from 13 August 2026 to 2 September 2026 (midnight, 12:00 am).
Important Note: Three things every applicant must confirm before submitting. First, permanent residency in the same Gram Sabha or ward is compulsory – district residency alone is not enough. You can apply only for the Anganwadi Karyakartri vacancy of the specific Gram Sabha or ward where you permanently reside. If no eligible candidate is found in that Gram Sabha or ward, the vacancy may be opened to permanent residents of the concerned Nyaya Panchayat – but this is a secondary step done by the department, not a reason for you to apply outside your ward. Second, merit is calculated from your highest qualification, not from Class 10 – the merit formula divides your qualifying percentage by 10, giving more points to higher qualifications with higher marks. A postgraduate degree with 75% gives 7.5 points, compared to an Intermediate pass. Every additional percentage point in your best qualification matters because the merit list is prepared to three decimal places without rounding. Third, all certificates must be digitally signed and verifiable online through the e-District portal – the residence certificate must be digitally signed by the Sub-Divisional Officer, and the caste and income certificates must be digitally signed by the Tehsildar. Certificates that fail the online e-District verification check cause you to be treated as Unreserved (failed caste certificate) or non-BPL (failed income certificate), which directly affects priority in selection. Upload only certificates already live and verifiable on the e-District system. No offline correction of the application is accepted after submission.
