| ICDS Project | Category-wise Vacancies | Seats |
|---|---|---|
| Muratganj | SC 2 / OBC 2 / UR 6 | 10 |
| Chayal | SC 5 / OBC 2 / UR 2 | 9 |

Notice two things. Newada has no SC seat, and the single urban (Shahar) seat is for OBC only. The vacancy table has no separate ST or EWS column. The ward and gram sabha wise list, with reservation, is pasted on notice boards at the Collectorate, Vikas Bhawan, tehsils, block and CDPO offices, and is also on the portal. Check it before you apply, because your seat is decided by your exact village or ward.
Here is a simple way to do it. First find your project in the table above. Then open the ward or gram sabha list on the portal, or visit your block or CDPO office, and look for your own village or ward name. If there is no vacant post in your gram sabha, read the Nyay Panchayat rule in the eligibility section before you give up.
One more point: 194 Anganwadi centres of Kaushambi (Chayal 162, Newada 32, Muratganj 1) that run inside Prayagraj district limits are being shifted to Bhagwatpur block, Prayagraj. Worker posts at those centres will be filled by district Prayagraj, not by this notice.

| Stage | Detail |
|---|---|

Clause 6 words this BPL preference for Sahayika (helper) posts. BPL status is decided under the UP Social Welfare Section-2 order dated 14 September 2015 (as amended). A widow needs a death certificate from the Gram Panchayat Officer or urban body and a certified copy of the Parivar Register. A divorced or abandoned woman needs a legal order from a court. Selection uses only what you fill online, so double-check every mark. You can track the selection news and other results on our site.
| Condition | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Wrong or forged data | Any error, or wrong or forged facts, figures or marks, and your candidature will be cancelled |
| Offline forms | No application or document by hand or post will be accepted in any case |
| Certificates | Income, residence and caste certificates must be the latest online, digitally signed Tehsil certificates in your own name, verifiable online |
| Income certificate age | Only an income certificate issued within three years before the advertisement date is valid |
| Vacancy changes | The number of posts may increase or decrease; filling them or not is the Selection Committee’s call |
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Visit the official UP Anganwadi Bharti portal (link in Essential Links) |
| 2 | Open the online application form on the portal |
| 3 | Fill the online form carefully and upload clear, self-attested copies of the documents it asks for |
| 4 | Pay a fee only if the portal asks; the notification does not mention any fee |
| 5 | Submit before midnight of 21 October 2026 |
Keep your online income, residence and caste certificates ready before you start. These are the documents that decide your claim, and none can be sent offline later.
A small tip from experience: apply for these certificates at the Tehsil today if yours are old or were not issued online. An income certificate older than three years from the advertisement date will not be accepted. Also make sure the name on every certificate exactly matches your name in the form. Fill your marks from the marksheet itself, not from memory, because the form data is what the merit is built on.
