Editorial Policy – Bodos.in

Last Updated: 13 November 2026

1. About Our Editorial Policy

Welcome to Bodos.in (https://www.bodos.in/).

Bodos.in is an independent digital information and news platform committed to providing readers with informative, accurate, useful and understandable content.

Our editorial policy establishes the principles and standards we follow when researching, preparing, reviewing, publishing and updating information on our website.

We believe that trustworthy information should be based on reliable sources, responsible reporting, transparency and respect for readers.

Bodos.in is founded and managed under the leadership of Captain Rati Kanta Boro (Retd.), whose 34 years of defence service experience have helped shape the platform's values of discipline, responsibility, integrity and public awareness.

Our objective is to make important public information accessible to readers across Assam, Northeast India and the rest of the country.

2. Our Editorial Mission

Our mission is to publish information that helps readers understand important developments affecting their daily lives.

We aim to:

Provide accurate and informative government news.
Explain public welfare schemes and government initiatives.
Share employment and recruitment notifications.
Publish pension, retirement and salary-related updates.
Cover educational opportunities and scholarship information.
Share relevant defence and ex-servicemen information.
Highlight important developments in Assam and Northeast India.
Make complicated official announcements easier to understand.

We aim to provide more than headlines by explaining the background, importance and practical implications of published information.

3. Topics We Cover

Bodos.in publishes content across the following categories:

A. Government News

G. Assam and Northeast India

4. Research and Information Sources

The reliability of an article begins with the quality of its sources.

Our editorial process gives preference to official and verifiable sources.

Depending on the subject, we may refer to:

Press Information Bureau (PIB).
Government of India ministries and departments.
Official Assam Government websites.
Ministry of Finance.
Department of Pension and Pensioners' Welfare.
Ministry of Defence.
Staff Selection Commission (SSC).
Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).
National Testing Agency (NTA).
Official recruitment and examination portals.
Government notifications, circulars and published reports.
Reputable news organisations for additional context.

Whenever practical, we include links to the original source so that readers can independently verify important information.

We distinguish official announcements from media reports, proposals, demands, expectations and unconfirmed information.

5. Original Content and Writing Standards

Bodos.in is committed to producing original, reader-focused content.

When using publicly available government information or official press releases, our editorial approach is to explain the information in our own words and provide additional context where useful.

Our articles should aim to include relevant details such as:

What has been announced?
Which department or authority issued the announcement?
Why is the announcement important?
Who may benefit?
What are the eligibility requirements?
What are the important dates?
How can readers obtain further information?
Where can the original official notification be verified?

We do not consider changing a few words in an existing press release sufficient to create meaningful original content.

Our goal is to make information more understandable and useful rather than simply reproduce publicly available announcements.

6. Fact-Checking and Verification

We make reasonable efforts to verify important facts before publishing an article.

Our verification process may include:

Identifying the original information source.
Checking the relevant official notification or announcement.
Reviewing dates, figures, names and eligibility conditions.
Comparing important details with other authoritative sources where necessary.
Checking whether the information has been updated or superseded.
Providing source references where appropriate.

If information is incomplete or has not been officially confirmed, we aim to explain that limitation clearly.

We do not intentionally present rumours, speculation or unofficial demands as confirmed government decisions.

7. Use of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Tools

Bodos.in may use digital tools, including artificial intelligence, to assist with research organisation, language improvement, drafting, summarisation and content preparation.

However, digital tools are used as assistance and do not replace editorial responsibility.

We aim to ensure that:

Important factual claims are checked against reliable sources.
Dates, figures and official announcements are verified.
Articles provide useful information rather than generic or repetitive text.
Content is reviewed for clarity and relevance.
AI-generated errors are corrected before publication when identified.
We do not intend to publish automatically generated material without appropriate editorial review and verification.
The final responsibility for published content rests with the website's editorial management.

8. Editorial Independence and Transparency

Bodos.in operates as an independent information platform.

We are not an official representative of any government ministry, department, recruitment agency or defence organisation.

Our articles are prepared for informational and public-awareness purposes.

We aim to distinguish factual reporting from opinions, estimates, analysis and projections.

Where an article discusses a proposed policy, expected salary revision or possible pension benefit, we aim to identify it as a proposal or estimate unless an official decision has been issued.

9. Headlines and Article Presentation

We aim to write headlines that accurately represent the information contained in an article.

Our editorial standards discourage:

Misleading headlines.
Exaggerated or unsupported claims.
False promises about government benefits.
Unverified recruitment announcements.
Artificial urgency intended to attract clicks.
Headlines that present estimates as confirmed decisions.

Our objective is to help readers understand the actual subject of an article before opening it.

10. Images, Photographs and Copyright

We aim to use images and visual materials responsibly.

Images may include original graphics, properly licensed photographs, publicly available official images and other materials used in accordance with applicable permissions and copyright requirements.

Where necessary, we provide appropriate attribution or source information.

We do not knowingly publish copyrighted material without a lawful basis for its use.

If a copyright owner believes that material on Bodos.in infringes their rights, they may contact us with the relevant URL and supporting information for review.

11. Article Updates and Corrections Policy

Information can change after publication, particularly government rules, recruitment deadlines, examination schedules, pension orders and public welfare schemes.

We aim to review relevant articles and update them when significant new information becomes available.

Our correction approach includes:

Correcting factual mistakes when identified.
Updating outdated dates and figures.
Revising information when official notifications change.
Fixing broken or incorrect links.
Clarifying statements that may cause misunderstanding.

Where appropriate, significant updates will be reflected in the article's publication or updated date.

Readers are encouraged to report factual errors through our Contact Us page.

12. Reader Feedback and Public Participation

We welcome constructive feedback from our readers.

Readers can help improve our website by:

Reporting incorrect information.
Suggesting useful public-interest topics.
Sharing official notifications and government sources.
Identifying outdated information.
Providing suggestions for improving articles.

We review genuine feedback and may make changes when appropriate.

However, we reserve the right to decide whether a suggested article or correction is relevant to our editorial scope.

13. Sponsored Content and Advertising

Bodos.in may display advertisements through Google AdSense or other advertising partners.

The appearance of an advertisement does not automatically mean that Bodos.in endorses the advertised product, service or organisation.

If sponsored content or paid promotional material is published, we aim to identify it clearly so that readers can distinguish promotional material from independent editorial content.

Advertising arrangements should not compromise the accuracy or integrity of our editorial information.

14. Privacy and Reader Information

We respect the privacy of our readers.

Information voluntarily submitted through our contact facilities is handled according to our Privacy Policy.

We do not intend to publish private personal information without an appropriate lawful basis.
