Thanks to the support and funding from @icfj, this summer as part of the #LeapNewsInnovationLab our team worked to build trust in news and prototyped a WhatsApp-based digital media literacy tool to fight misinformation in the Indian diaspora.

They include fact checks for people with hearing and visual impairments, a media literacy tool on WhatsApp, a way for commenters to “follow along” as their story suggestions are moved forward, and more.

Diaspora funds bailed India out from a 1991 balance of payments crisis. Now, Ukraine is hoping to tap fresh sources of money to fund its defence efforts and is looking at ways to extend a domestic bond issuance programme to international capital markets.

On Jan. 9, 1915, Mahatma Gandhi returned to India from South Africa. Gandhi's return to India was a momentous event that signaled the beginning of the Indian independence movement.

[The NRI Nation @theNRInation]

In modern-day India, Jan. 9 is dedicated to the millions of nonresident Indians and is celebrated as the 'Pravasi Bharatiya Diwas.' It is the day India celebrates and honours the immense contributions that NRIs have made to the country!
