District Programme Officer, Sultanpur Anganwadi Karyakatri Recruitment 2026 - 119 Posts

The Uttar Pradesh Department of Child Development Service and Nutrition has released this notification to fill 119 vacant Anganwadi Karyakatri posts on an honorarium-based contract, spread across 14 anganwadi projects in Sultanpur district. This direct recruitment drive follows a government order dated 17 September 2025, and only women residents of the concerned Gram Sabha or urban ward are eligible for each specific post. Merit is prepared based on marks scored from Intermediate up to Postgraduate level — there is no written exam for this recruitment.

Anganwadi Karyakatris are the backbone of the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme, working at the grassroots level to support children under 6 years, pregnant women and lactating mothers in their own community. Since the post requires you to work in your own Gram Sabha or Ward, this recruitment gives local women a genuine chance to take up meaningful government work close to home, without having to relocate or compete against candidates from outside their locality.

Vacancy Breakdown

The 119 posts are spread across 14 project blocks in Sultanpur district, with the following category-wise reservation:

• Unreserved: 75 posts
• Other Backward Classes (OBC): 28 posts
• Scheduled Caste (SC): 16 posts

The project-wise (block-wise) distribution of vacancies, along with Gram Sabha/Ward-level reservation details, is available at the District Collectorate, Development Bhawan, and the concerned Tehsil and Development Block offices, as well as on the department's website.

Each of these 119 posts corresponds to a specific Anganwadi Centre in one of Sultanpur's development blocks — including Akhandnagar, Baldirai, Bhadaiya, Dhanpatganj, Dostpur, Dudhepur, Jaisinghpur, Kadipur, Kurebhar, Kurwar, Lambhua, Motigarpur, PP Kamaicha, and Sultanpur city itself. Because eligibility is tied to your own Gram Sabha or Ward, this recruitment effectively opens up 119 separate, hyper-local opportunities rather than one large open competition, so check which post corresponds to your own residence before applying.

Who Can Apply?

• Qualification: Intermediate (12th) pass or equivalent is the minimum requirement
• Candidates with higher qualifications, up to postgraduate level, can also apply — merit will be prepared based on your marks
• Only women candidates are eligible for this post
• You must be a resident of the same Gram Sabha or urban Ward you are applying for — this is mandatory
• Two women from the same family cannot be appointed as Anganwadi Karyakatri and Sahayika (Worker and Helper) at the same Anganwadi Kendra

Selection Preference Order (within the same Gram Sabha/Ward):

• Widowed, legally divorced, or deserted women living below the poverty line (BPL) get first preference
• If no such candidate is available, other BPL women from the same Gram Sabha/Ward are considered
• If still no candidate is found, widowed, divorced or deserted women living above the poverty line are considered
• Finally, any woman resident of the Gram Sabha/Ward living above the poverty line is considered

This layered preference system is designed to give first priority to the most vulnerable women in each locality, while still ensuring every Gram Sabha/Ward gets a fair chance to have its own Anganwadi Karyakatri, even if no candidate from the top preference category applies.

Age Limit

• You should be between 18 and 35 years old as on 1 July 2026.
• Your date of birth as recorded in your High School certificate will be considered valid for age calculation.

Selection Process (No Written Exam)

2. Preference Order: Applied within your own Gram Sabha/Ward, as explained in the eligibility section above
3. Document Verification: Your income, caste and residence certificates are verified online through the Tehsil
