The Story So Far

Join us in the #FightAgainstMisinformation by training just three of your closed ones on the ‘Best Practices against Misinformation on WhatsApp’. Register Now to become a part of this national movement to create a supportive ecosystem for the thousands of citizens who currently are still falling prey to the monster of misinformation and fake news being spread through platforms like WhatsApp https://mykartavya.nasscomfoundation.org/
