| Anganwadi Helper | Qualification will be as prescribed in the relevant district notification. |

The Anganwadi Worker recruitment is intended for female candidates.
One of the most important conditions of UP Anganwadi Worker recruitment is the local residence requirement.
The candidate should ordinarily be a resident of the concerned village / ward / Nyaya Panchayat from which she is applying, as prescribed by the applicable district notification.
Candidates should carefully verify the vacancy against their residential area before submitting the application.
Applying for a vacancy outside the candidate's eligible local area can result in rejection during scrutiny or document verification.
The selection for the applicable Anganwadi Worker recruitment is generally conducted on the basis of a merit list prepared according to the prescribed recruitment rules.
Candidates should not expect a conventional written examination unless a particular district notification specifically provides otherwise.
The merit list is prepared on the basis of the prescribed educational and recruitment criteria.
Candidates shortlisted in the merit process may be called for document verification.
The final selection is subject to verification of the candidate's eligibility, residence, educational qualification and other documents.
A candidate's position in the merit list does not remove the requirement of successful document verification.
Anganwadi Worker and Helper positions under the ICDS programme are honorarium-based engagements.
The amount payable and applicable benefits are governed by the prevailing Government of Uttar Pradesh / ICDS rules.
Candidates should not treat the Anganwadi honorarium as the regular pay scale of a permanent state government employee.
The application deadline is different for different districts. Candidates should follow the deadline shown in their own district notification.
Candidates should keep the original documents available for verification.
