UP Anganwadi Bharti 2026 - District-Wise Worker and Helper Vacancies, Eligibility and Apply Online

UP Anganwadi Bharti 2026 - District-Wise Worker and Helper Vacancies

The Uttar Pradesh District Programme Officer has invited online applications for UP Anganwadi Bharti 2026 through district-wise recruitment notices. Eligible female candidates can apply for Anganwadi Worker and Anganwadi Helper posts available in their local village, ward or Nyaya Panchayat.

Recruitment is not being conducted through one common statewide closing date. Every district has a separate vacancy count, notification and application deadline. As of 6 August 2026, official notices with closing dates from 7 to 31 August cover 5,152 vacancies across 18 districts. Applicants must check the notification for their district before submitting the form.

Current opportunity: Online applications remain open in districts such as Ghaziabad, Unnao, Ayodhya, Meerut, Basti, Saharanpur, Lakhimpur Kheri, Sitapur, Hapur, Kushinagar, Sant Kabir Nagar, Ambedkar Nagar and Azamgarh. Deadlines are different for every district and post.

Important correction: “60,000+ posts” should not be shown as the verified number of vacancies currently open under one notification. The official portal publishes recruitment separately for each district, post and application period. The table below contains only notices whose deadlines were after 6 August 2026.

Closing-date alert: Ghaziabad Worker and Helper applications close on 7 August 2026. Candidates from that district should verify availability on the official portal and complete the form without waiting.

Candidates can also check the latest government job notifications and government result updates on NexRojgar.

Age Limit

Current July and August 2026 notifications generally prescribe a minimum age of 18 years and a maximum age of 35 years, calculated on 1 July 2026. Candidates must check the date printed in their own district notification because older notices may use a different cut-off.
