VARANASI: The District Programme Officer published an Anganwadi selection memorandum on Thursday, November 5, 2026, declaring 173 candidates selected for worker posts across nine child development projects in Varanasi. Applicants in Araziline, Badagaon and the city project are among those who can now check their application numbers against the six-page official list.
The recruitment covered 187 vacancies. The memorandum says 14 posts have remained without a selection because eligible candidates were not found. District Magistrate approval was given on Wednesday, November 4, following the district selection committee's recommendation.
For candidates, the immediate task is to check the project, centre and application number together. Appointment-letter distribution will be announced separately, the memorandum says. The November 30 end date displayed on the district website should therefore be read as the notice listing's end date, rather than an appointment collection date.
What the selection memorandum confirms
The order, signed by District Programme Officer D. K. Singh, traces the recruitment to the district advertisement dated July 1, 2026. Online applications were invited through the departmental recruitment portal, upanganwadibharti.in, with July 31 as the closing date. These are the dates of the completed application stage; the new development is the selection result issued this week.
The selection committee worked from the broadsheet of applications received through the recruitment portal and the documents uploaded there. The memorandum cites the state government's September 17, 2025 selection order as the governing instruction. It records completion of the selection exercise under that instruction before the district magistrate's approval.
Residents can read the district administration's selection notice and open its attached PDF. The notice page identifies the District Programme Officer as the issuing office and gives November 5 as the start date. The PDF itself carries the same date in its handwritten heading.
Which projects appear in the list
The table is organised by project. A count of its numbered rows gives 26 selections in Araziline, 13 in Badagaon, eight in Chiraigaon, 10 in Cholapur and five in Harahua. Kashi Vidyapeeth has 27 listed selections, Pindra 10 and Sewapuri nine. The Nagar Kshetra city project accounts for the remaining 65. These are counts from the published list, not a separate vacancy announcement.
The locations make the result relevant to both rural and urban applicants. The first page includes centres in Badhainikala, Bhikarip, Budhapur, Chaukhundi, Jansa and Jayapur under Araziline. The last page includes city centres at Sarai Surajan, Sarsoli, Shiwala, Shivpurwa, Sigra, Sikraul and Tarna. Applicants should use the centre spelling and code in their own row when checking the result.
The table contains a serial number, project name, application number, Anganwadi centre name, centre code and applicant name, alongside family-identification columns. Matching the application number and centre code is a practical way to distinguish entries where names are similar. The full list, rather than a shortened neighbourhood summary, is the document candidates should consult.
What applicants should do
- Open the six-page attachment linked from the district notice.
- Locate the relevant child development project before checking individual rows.
- Compare the application number, applicant name, centre name and centre code with the application record.
- Keep the result notice available and watch the district website for the separate appointment-letter announcement.
The order does not give a distribution venue, reporting time or collection deadline for appointment letters. Candidates should wait for that separate instruction before treating any date as a compulsory reporting appointment. The current memorandum also does not announce a fresh application window for the 14 posts where selection was not made.
Those 14 unfilled posts are identified only as a total in the closing paragraph. That paragraph does not provide a centre-by-centre list of the unfilled positions or a timetable for another selection exercise. Applicants should avoid assuming that a centre absent from the selected list has automatically been reopened for recruitment.
What happens next
The final paragraph explicitly puts appointment-letter distribution into a later announcement. Copies of the memorandum are addressed to the state child development directorate, district magistrate, chief development officer, district information officer and selection committee members. The district information officer is asked to upload the selection list on the district website.
For related local background, readers can revisit the district's senior citizen scheme proposal notice, the report on women's self-help groups preparing Diwali hampers and the university's request for missing practical marks. Each concerns a separate administrative process with its own requirements.
