What Is the JK Anganwadi Selection List 2026 and Who Issued It?

The JK Anganwadi Selection List 2026 is a merit-based ranking of women applicants for Sangini (Anganwadi Worker) and Sahayika (Anganwadi Helper) posts. Child Development Project Officers in Baramulla published the Narwaw and Boniyar lists in September 2026. The top-ranked candidate for each Anganwadi Centre appears as the provisional selection.

An Anganwadi Centre (AWC) is a village-level centre under the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS). It serves children aged 0–6 years, adolescent girls, and pregnant and nursing mothers, as described on the official ICDS J&K website. In Jammu and Kashmir, the Worker is called a Sangini. The Helper is called a Sahayika, spelled Shayika in some notices.

Each CDPO fills vacant AWCs from applicants living in the same electoral ward. Both September 2026 notices follow Government Order No. 103-JK(SWD) of 2023, dated 28 April 2023. The Mission Director, Poshan, J&K, Srinagar, conveyed approval for the recruitment.

Every AWC-wise table in the official PDFs carries the same columns:

• Candidate name and residence panchayat or ward
• Date of birth and qualification
• Marks obtained, total marks and percentage
• Relation with a retired AWW or AWH (Yes or No)
• Additional points and total merit

The Narwaw notice adds Annexure-B, the provisional selection list with one top-merit name per AWC. The notices also direct local publicity through newspapers, panchayat ghars, schools and the district website. From our review of the official notices, the process is transparent because every applicant’s marks appear in the public list.

How Much Do Anganwadi Workers and Helpers Earn in Jammu and Kashmir?

An Anganwadi Worker in Jammu and Kashmir receives ₹5,100 per month, and a Helper receives ₹2,550, according to the honorarium stated in 2026 J&K advertisements. This is an honorarium, not a regular salary.

The Centre set the ₹4,500 and ₹2,250 rates from 1 October 2018, as the PIB Cabinet release on Anganwadi honorarium records. Lok Sabha data reported in 2026 shows J&K’s ₹600 and ₹300 top-ups sit among the lowest in the country. Neighbouring Ladakh pays ₹1,300 and ₹650.

The Ministry has said no decision exists to raise the central honorarium further. Promotion is the main growth path. As reported by Rising Kashmir, 50 per cent of Worker posts go to eligible Helpers. Half of Supervisor posts go to experienced Workers.

Eligibility and Merit Rules Behind the Anganwadi Selection List

Selection is purely merit-based on qualifying marks, restricted to the electoral ward of the Anganwadi Centre. The rules below come from the official ICDS J&K advertisement PDF, which uses the same Government Orders as the Narwaw and Boniyar notices.

Three more rules shape the final ranking:

• Tie-break: if two candidates have equal merit, the older candidate is preferred.
• Relation bonus: a candidate from the family of a retiring AWW or AWH earns additional two percent points.
• Higher qualification: candidates above graduation are not considered for Worker posts.

Shortlisted candidates must bring original documents to document verification. These include the marksheet, date of birth or matriculation certificate, domicile certificate, an unmarried certificate where required, two passport photographs and one photo ID. Missing certificates are decided by the selection committee.

Poshan Project Narwaw: Sangini AWC-Wise Merit Snapshot

The table below summarises Annexure-A without personal names. “Gap” is the distance between the top two merit scores.

Our analysis of these nine lists shows four clear patterns:

• The nine provisional toppers average 76.49 per cent, ranging from 56.00 to 90.60.
• Chakloo-A was the most contested centre, with 8 applicants.
• Four of nine centres were decided by fewer than 5 points; Naranthal Jalsheeri’s gap was just 1.00.
• Six of nine toppers hold a BA, yet ranking uses 10+2 marks, so graduation adds no extra points.

One caution: the notice says Sanginis are selected for 10 centres, but the copy we reviewed shows nine AWC lists. Confirm the tenth centre in the official PDF.

Poshan Project Boniyar: Sahayika AWC-Wise Merit Snapshot

Boniyar’s six toppers average 59.47 per cent, about 17 points below Narwaw. Class 10 marks are lower on average than Class 12 marks in these lists. Three centres drew only one applicant each.

The Boniyar list also shows how the relation bonus works. The lists add 2 per cent of the percentage, so 42.40 per cent earns 0.848 and 45.00 per cent earns 0.90. At Donwari, two candidates tied at 42.40 per cent. The bonus lifted one to 43.25 and broke the tie. Because the bonus is small, it rarely changes ranks beyond ties or near-ties.

How to File an Appeal or Objection Against the List

Both notices state that appeals must be filed in person at the concerned project office against a proper receipt. No appeal is entertained after the deadline.

• Narwaw (Sangini): file at the Poshan Project Narwaw office by 3 October 2026, 4:00 PM.
• Boniyar (Sahayika): the stated deadline was 24 September 2026, 4:00 PM, and has passed.
• Carry your marksheet, domicile certificate and photo ID, and ask for a written receipt.
• Verify your name, marks and merit position in the official PDF before you appeal.

Note that the jkicds.com notice board also shows an advertisement dated 29 June 2026 for Boniyar kept in abeyance. It appears to be a separate round from these lists, but read it on the official circulars page before drawing conclusions.

Narwaw Sangini List vs Boniyar Sahayika List: What Differs?

The Narwaw list ranks Workers on 10+2 marks and carries a final provisional selection, while the Boniyar list ranks Helpers on Class 10 marks and is labelled tentative.

Pros and Cons of Merit-Only Anganwadi Selection

Merit-only selection is clear and checkable, but low pay and thin applicant pools limit its appeal.

Advantages

• Marks and percentages are public, so any applicant can verify the ranking.
• No written exam or fee appears in the advertisement, so costs stay low.
• Ward-level hiring keeps the worker close to the children and mothers she serves.
• A formal appeal window lets candidates correct errors before engagement.
• Helpers can move up, since half of Worker posts go to eligible Helpers.

Disadvantages

• The honorarium of ₹5,100 and ₹2,550 is low and is not a regular salary.
• Ward restriction leaves some centres with one or two applicants only.
• Tentative lists can change after appeals and document verification.
