Fact-Check Policy

At Rugnaseva Prakalp, we are committed to sharing only reliable, verified, and responsible information with the communities we serve. Whether it’s about financial literacy, government schemes, health awareness, or social welfare — every piece of content we publish is fact-checked with utmost care and ethical responsibility.

We understand that misinformation in the fields of finance and public health can lead to real-world harm. Therefore, ensuring accuracy isn’t just a process — it’s a promise.

Objectives of Our Fact-Checking Process

We aim to:

  • Ensure that our readers receive authentic and up-to-date information
