Website Conferring National Awards Not Approved by Centre: PIB
In a shocking revelation, the Press Information Bureau (PIB) Fact Check has exposed a website claiming to confer prestigious national awards on individuals. The website, ‘brs.inc,’ is masquerading as a legitimate entity approved by the Government of India, but the PIB has confirmed that it is a fake website.
The website, which claims to confer the Bharat Ratna Samman, Padma Bhushan Samman, and Padma Vibhushan Samman, is seeking nominee charges from individuals who are eligible for these awards. The website’s mission statement reads, “Our mission is to appreciate great accomplishments of individuals who influenced society in a positive manner.”
However, the PIB Fact Check has debunked the website’s claims, stating that it is not approved by the Centre. In a tweet, the PIB Fact Check wrote, “Fake website alert! ‘brs.inc’ claims to confer national awards like Bharat Ratna, Padma Bhushan, and Padma Vibhushan. But, it is NOT APPROVED by the Centre. Don’t fall prey to such fake claims.”
The PIB Fact Check has urged citizens to be cautious and not fall prey to such fraudulent activities. The website’s claims are a clear attempt to deceive unsuspecting individuals and extort money from them.
The Bharat Ratna, Padma Bhushan, and Padma Vibhushan are some of the highest civilian awards in India, conferred by the Government of India on individuals who have made significant contributions to the nation in various fields. These awards are considered a great honor and are conferred on individuals who have demonstrated exceptional service in their respective fields.
The fact that ‘brs.inc’ is claiming to confer these awards, despite not being approved by the Centre, raises serious concerns about the website’s intentions. The website’s fake claims are likely to cause confusion and mislead individuals who are unaware of the true nature of the website.
It is essential for citizens to verify the authenticity of any information or claims made by any website or entity before taking any action. The PIB Fact Check’s exposure of ‘brs.inc’ is a timely reminder of the importance of fact-checking and being cautious in the digital age.
In recent years, there have been several instances of fake websites and entities claiming to confer awards or recognition on individuals. These websites often target unsuspecting individuals and extort money from them by promising them recognition or awards.
The PIB Fact Check’s exposure of ‘brs.inc’ is a significant development in the fight against fake news and misinformation. The PIB Fact Check is a dedicated team that works to verify the authenticity of information and expose fake news and misinformation.
In conclusion, citizens are advised to be cautious and not fall prey to fake websites and entities claiming to confer national awards. The PIB Fact Check’s exposure of ‘brs.inc’ is a reminder of the importance of fact-checking and verifying the authenticity of information before taking any action.
