Editorial Policy

1. Our Editorial Mission & Public Accountability

At Sarkari Yojana (https://www.sarkariyojnaa.com/), we recognize that public-policy reporting—covering government welfare schemes, Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) pensions, agriculture subsidies, citizen identity documents, scholarships, and public recruitment—directly impacts the financial and educational well-being of Indian households. Our editorial policy is built on accuracy over speed, primary-source verification, zero clickbait, and complete transparency.

2. Mandatory Primary-Source Verification Rule

Before commissioning, drafting, or updating any article on sarkariyojnaa.com, the assigned writer and reviewing editor must verify the information against at least one primary official source:

• Official Government Portals: National and State e-Governance portals ending in .gov.in or .nic.in, or statutory public institutions (such as rbi.org.in, sbi.co.in, licindia.in, uidai.gov.in, bpsc.bihar.gov.in).
• Official Gazette & Departmental Orders: Government Resolutions (GR), Cabinet decisions, budget documents, and official PDF recruitment advertisements.
• Press Information Bureau (PIB) & PIB Fact Check: Official press releases and myth-busting clarifications issued by the Government of India and State Information & Public Relations Departments (IPRD).

3. Strict Rules on Viral Rumors, Proposals & Fact-Checks

1. Never Report Unverified Rumors as Active Schemes: Viral WhatsApp forwards or YouTube claims promising unannounced cash payouts, free smartphones, or loan waivers are never presented as active schemes.
2. Clear Fact-Check Labeling: When a misleading scheme rumor or fake lookalike website is trending and putting citizens at risk of fraud, our desk publishes a dedicated warning clearly labeled as a Fact Check / Citizen Alert, citing official PIB or departmental denials.
3. Distinction Between Proposals and Open Applications: If a welfare scheme has been announced in a budget speech or cabinet briefing but its online portal has not yet opened for registration, our headline and summary table explicitly state “Proposal / Portal Launching Soon” rather than misleading readers into searching for a non-existent form.

4. Citizen-First Article Structure & Clarity Standards

Every guide on Sarkari Yojana follows a standardized, reader-friendly editorial format designed for clarity on both mobile and desktop screens:

• Direct Fact-First Opening: Every article opens directly with the verified scheme name, nodal ministry/state, benefit amount, and current application status—without conversational fluff or exaggerated claims.
• Structured Overview Table: Key factual parameters (Scheme Name, Department, Beneficiaries, Benefit Amount, Application Mode, and Official Website URL) presented in a clean, scannable table.
• Exact Eligibility & Exclusions: Clear bullet points detailing income limits, age brackets, landholding rules, and statutory exclusions.
• Document Checklist & Portal Walkthrough: Step-by-step instructions showing citizens how to apply or check status directly on the official government website.

5. Human Authorship & Zero Unreviewed Automation

Every article on sarkariyojnaa.com is researched, written, and verified by named members of our editorial team. We strictly prohibit unreviewed automated content generation, keyword stuffing, doorway pages, or spun content. Every published post carries the author’s verified byline, role badge, and accurate publication/modification dates.

6. Corrections, Updates & Link Maintenance Policy

Government portals frequently migrate domains, revise eligibility criteria, or extend application deadlines. Our editorial desk conducts scheduled content audits to replace broken links and refresh outdated guidelines. When a substantive factual correction is made to a published article, we update the text immediately and refresh the visible Updated On timestamp. Readers can request a correction at any time via sarkariyojnaaa@gmail.com.
