https://factly.in - Making public data meaningful

           In this digital age, manufacturing content has become the easiest way to circulate one's agenda. How often have you come across articles that go around like ultimate gospel in the social media? Every minute. Don't even get us started about photo-shopped images that leave you at your wit's end. And a lot of times it is just too much information thrown at once and no way to comprehend it.

          The urge to figure out the fact behind each of these fake stories and a need to create a platform that would separate the wheat from the chaff  has resulted the birth of FACTLY. It's primary objective is to tell you the truth, the facts. FACTLY is a platform that brings you various aspects of life that directly or indirectly affects the common man but with ONE difference. Each news story on FACTLY is backed by factual evidence/data that is either available in the public domain or that is collated/gathered/ collected using tools such as the Right to Information (RTI).
