Ghaziabad Anganwadi Karyakatri and Sahayika Recruitment 2026 - 508 Posts

The Office of the District Programme Officer, Ghaziabad has released a direct recruitment notice for 167 Anganwadi Karyakatri (Worker) and 341 Anganwadi Sahayika (Helper) posts on honorarium under the Bal Vikas Pariyojna (Child Development Project) scheme. Vacancies are spread across five project areas — Bhojpur, City Ghaziabad, Loni, Muradnagar and Rajapur — covering both urban and rural pockets of the district. Only women residents of the concerned ward or Gram Sabha are eligible, so make sure you apply for a post in your own area.

This recruitment follows the procedure laid down in Government Order No. 1/1092245/2025/3313/58-1-2025 (1917687) dated 17 September 2025. You are advised to study this order carefully before filling your application, since it explains ward-wise and Gram Sabha-wise reservation for every vacant post.

Anganwadi Karyakatri (Worker) and Anganwadi Sahayika (Helper) are honorarium-based posts under India’s Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme. A Karyakatri runs the anganwadi centre and looks after pre-school education and nutrition for children below 6 years, while a Sahayika assists her with daily activities, cooking and cleaning at the centre. These posts carry a fixed monthly honorarium rather than a regular government pay scale.
