DPO Anganwadi Assistant 2026 — 171 Vacancies

DPO Anganwadi Assistant Recruitment 2026: Overview

District Programme Officer, Child Development Bareilly is running direct recruitment for honorarium-based Anganwadi Assistant posts in the district's urban and rural child-development projects. The notice covers Alampur Jafarabad, Baheri, Bhojipura, Bhuta, Bithri Chainpur, Faridpur, Fatehganj West, Kyara, Majhgawan, Meerganj, Nawabganj, Ramnagar, Shergarh and Bareilly city. This is a local community appointment for women who live in the ward or gram sabha linked to the vacant Anganwadi centre.

The role supports the local Anganwadi system at neighbourhood level, where child nutrition, early-years activities and family outreach come together. Your eligibility is tied not only to education but also to the exact place where the vacancy is located. The centre-wise and reservation details are displayed through the departmental portal and on notice boards at district, tehsil, block and Child Development Project offices.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Women-only recruitment: only women can apply for the advertised Anganwadi Assistant posts.
• Local residence: you must be a permanent resident of the ward or gram sabha where the post is vacant. If no suitable woman is available in the gram sabha, the related nyaya panchayat residence rule applies.
• Urban address proof: for a city vacancy, your online residence certificate must clearly show the relevant ward number and ward name.
• Preference order: the first preference goes to widows from below-poverty-line families living in the same ward or gram sabha, followed by legally divorced or deserted women in the same income group, and then other local women from such families.
• Further preference: if no applicant is available in the below-poverty-line groups, the same widow, legally divorced or deserted, and other-local-woman order is applied to families above the poverty line.
• Income proof: the certificate must be digitally verifiable and issued by the competent authority. An income certificate issued more than three years before the notice is not accepted.
• Digital certificates: residence and caste certificates must be digitally signed online certificates issued through the tehsil and capable of online verification.
• Vacancy changes: the selection committee may increase, reduce or cancel the openings, and its decision will control if the vacancy information contains an error.

The notice sets separate below-poverty-line income ceilings for rural and urban families, which are used only for deciding the preference category. Widow status must be supported by the relevant death certificate and certified family-register copy. A legally divorced or deserted applicant needs the applicable court order for that claim.

Application Submission Notes

Applications are accepted only through the UP Anganwadi recruitment portal. Upload clean, readable and self-signed copies of the records you mention in the online form. Offline forms and applications sent by post are not accepted.

Enter marks, totals and personal facts carefully because a false or incorrect entry can lead to cancellation. For the exact centre and reservation attached to a vacancy, compare the portal entry with the notices displayed at the Collectorate, Vikas Bhawan, tehsil, block and Child Development Project offices.

Before applying, confirm that your residence certificate matches the ward or gram sabha shown for the opening. This local link is central to the recruitment, so choosing a vacancy outside your eligible area can make the application invalid even when your educational record otherwise meets the requirement.
