Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely not. Official government websites can be easily identified by their domain names, which typically end in .gov.in or .nic.in. This is a 100% independent public project maintained by citizens.

This project started as an individual hobby project by a single voter of West Bengal who wanted to do something meaningful. Since then, many people have shared the project online and submitted updates through our forms.

In essence, you can say the people of West Bengal created it for themselves.

Let's be honest: we are scared. We've all seen how things can escalate in the online world, and we've already seen comments suggesting that this project might "end badly" for us. For now, we prefer to keep the focus on the data, not the people behind it.

No. We receive zero funding, zero direction, and have zero affiliation with any political party—neither the ruling BJP nor the opposition. This is a 100% independent, volunteer-led project.

We strive to be completely information-based. That’s why we include "Counter-Evidence" or "Debatable" sections for controversial updates. But here is the truth: we don't write this information randomly.

We take information from established news agencies. If something reported here is wrong, the primary burden of accountability falls on the news agency that published the article. If they are biased, the public should demand accountability from them as well.

Initially, the plan was to only use official government notices and departmental reports. But the reality is that West Bengal’s official websites are often updated very late, and finding specific departmental notices is much harder than it seems—sometimes they aren't even published online. News reports are often the only way to provide timely updates.

It is possible. That’s why we have the submission form—if you find a mistake, send us the info with proof and we will fix it. Always do your own research.

The evidence decides. We follow a strict Source Hierarchy. A promise is only marked as Fulfilled if there is an official government gazette, a signed Government Order (GO), or a formal bill enactment confirming the scheme is operational.

If ground reports suggest it is "on paper only," a media publisher must report on it and we will link it in the counter-evidence section.

The original source code for Version 1 of the site is fully available via Pastebin, allowing anyone to copy, edit, and launch their own tracker. This subsequent version utilizes a multi-file architecture, and we are currently focusing our efforts on data curation and project survival. Codebase releases of subsequent iterations may be shared in the future depending on technical constraints and development bandwidth.

No, it's manual. We don't have the budget to spend on AI credits for a fully automated system. Currently, updates are researched and added manually based on form submissions and our own daily tracking.

Stay informed. Help us spot mistakes, find missing links, or verify implementation in your local area. Your "eyes on the ground" are more valuable than any code.

Surely. We will try to add a Bengali version in the future if the project remains active and community interest continues to grow.

AI was used to help build and maintain the website’s code, but the idea, structure, and curated data are all human-led. If AI can help citizens build a tool for public accountability, we believe it’s a positive use of the technology. The core features are driven by user feedback and the needs of our community.
