Fact-Checking Policy for Sheti 24 Taas
At Sheti 24 Taas (https://sheti24taas.in), we understand that farmers and agricultural stakeholders make crucial financial and farming decisions based on the information they consume. Therefore, accuracy, transparency, and trustworthiness are the core pillars of our editorial process.
This policy outlines how we ensure the accuracy of our daily agricultural news, government scheme updates, and market rates (Bajar Bhav).
- Sourcing of Information
We are committed to using only authentic and highly reliable sources for our content:
Bajar Bhav (Market Rates): Our daily market rates are sourced strictly from official Agricultural Produce Market Committees (APMC), authorized government agricultural portals, and verified local market reporters.
Government Schemes: Information regarding farming subsidies, crop insurance, and state/central schemes is directly referenced from official Government Resolutions (GRs), press releases, and authorized departmental websites (e.g., MahaDBT).
Agriculture News: Ground reports and agricultural news are gathered by our experienced team and cross-verified with local authorities or agricultural experts (Krishi Adhikari) where necessary.
- The Verification Process
Before any news article or market rate update is published by our founder, Santosh Kale Patil, or our editorial team, it goes through a verification process. We cross-check facts, dates, and numerical data (like crop prices) to prevent the spread of misinformation or unverified rumors in the agricultural sector. - Correction Policy (Our Commitment to Accountability)
While we strive for 100% accuracy, we acknowledge that human errors can occasionally occur, especially when dealing with rapidly changing market rates.
If we discover a factual error in our published content, we correct it as swiftly as possible.
When a significant correction is made, we add an “Update” or “Correction Note” at the top or bottom of the article to maintain full transparency with our readers. We do not stealth-edit major factual errors.
- Objective and Non-Partisan Reporting
Sheti 24 Taas is an independent news platform. We do not let political affiliations or personal biases influence our reporting. Our sole focus is the welfare and empowerment of the farming community (Biliraja). - Report an Error
We highly value the feedback of our readers and the farming community. If you find any data, market rate, or news article on our website that you believe is inaccurate or misleading, we encourage you to report it to us immediately.
