UP Anganwadi Worker Sonbhadra Recruitment 2026: 201 Anganwadi Karyakartri Posts Across 8 Projects
Sonbhadra District Anganwadi Worker Recruitment 2026 — Only Female Candidates From Same Gram Sabha Can Apply
The Office of the District Programme Officer, Child Development (Bal Vikas), Sonbhasimilarly has released the notification for 201 Anganwadi Karyakartri (Anganwadi Worker) posts. The vacancies are spread across 8 projects in Sonbhadra district — Bamni, Chatra, Chopan, Duddhi, Ghorawal, Myorpur, Nagwa, and Robertsganj. Online applications are open from to through the official website upanganwadibharti.in. So if you are a female candidate from Sonbhadra, this is a good opportunity.
The eligibility is very specific here. You must be a female candidate and a resident of the same Gram Sabha or urban ward where the vacancy exists. That means you cannot apply for a post in a different village or ward. The minimum qualification is Intermediate (12th pass), but candidates up to postgraduate level can also apply. The merit will be based on marks from Intermediate up to postgraduate level — High School marks are excluded. Age limit is 18 to 35 years as on . And the selection is not through written exam — it is based on merit and priority system.
See, the priority system is important here. Within the same Gram Sabha, widowed women from BPL families get first priority, then divorced/deserted women from BPL families, then general BPL women, and finally general APL women. So if you are from a BPL family and fall under priority categories, your chances are actually better. The application is free — no fee mentioned. But you need digitally signed residence and caste certificates that are verifiable online. Apply before and keep a printout of your application.
