COVIDGyan: An AICTE initiative to fight misinformation on Coronavirus

COVIDGyan is an AICTE initiative which will fight against the misinformation on COVID-19 and coronavirus.  "The torrent of information generated and spread from all corners of the world on Covid-19 and coronavirus has created information overload. It is a challenge to comprehend reliable information while filtering out misinformation," says AICTE. COVIDGyan is the brainchild of Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), and the Tata Memorial Centre (TMC). Other prominent partners include Vigyan Prasar, IndiaBioscience, and the Bangalore Life Science Cluster (BLiSC, which comprises InStem and C-CAMP, in addition to NCBS-TIFR). Here, people will find scientifically credible and authentic content and the information provided will target both, general population and those interested in scientific research. Efforts are being made to make the resources available in as many Indian languages to make the reach of the initiative wider. The content is accessible on ‘covid-gyan.in’ and it is a collection of informative videos, posters and infographics, FAQs, myth busters, and articles.
