Corrections Log
This page logs every confirmed factual correction made to a Digitally Learn article after it was first published. Each entry shows the date, the article, the original text, the corrected text, and the source used to verify the fix.
If you spot a factual error, a stale date, an out-of-syllabus claim, or a citation that doesn’t resolve, please write to us through the contact page. We aim to verify and log every confirmed correction within 72 hours of receipt.
How a correction is processed
- The flagged claim is checked against the original source URL cited in the article.
- If the source no longer carries the value, or carries a different value, we trace to the most authoritative primary source available (NCERT, Ministry, PIB, parliamentary record, gazetted Act, IPCC / NOAA / USGS / etc.).
- The article is updated, the “Last updated” date refreshes, and an entry is added to this log.
- If the correction materially changes the answer to a previous-year UPSC question, the linked Prelims MCQ or Mains framework is also refreshed.
Corrections to date
This log was instituted on 27 May 2026 to formalise the correction trail. Issues caught during editorial review or reported by aspirants are recorded here with date, article, original text, corrected text, and the source used to verify the fix.
27 May 2026 · PRAGATI 46th Meeting (May 2026)
Type: Factual (acronym / institutional name)
Original: An early draft referred to the central grievance redressal interface as the “PMI Portal”.
Corrected to: “PG Portal”, the public-facing identifier for the Centralised Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS) operated by the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG).
Verified against: pgportal.gov.in and the DARPG portal.
27 May 2026 · Gaganyaan ECLSS Update (May 2026)
Type: Factual (institutional role attribution)
Original: Dr. Vikram Sarabhai was described as the “first Director of ISRO”.
Corrected to: “founding Chairman of ISRO”. Sarabhai served as the first Chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation from 1969 onwards; the “Director” framing conflated ISRO’s chairmanship with the directorate of the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) which he founded earlier.
Verified against: ISRO official biography of Dr. Vikram Sarabhai.
27 May 2026 · INS Sanghmitra NGOPV (May 2026)
Type: Presentation fidelity (figure caption)
Original: The featured visual carried a “+ Crew Module” text overlay inside the SVG image and an internal-authoring provenance line.
Corrected to: Internal overlays removed; source attribution moved to the figure caption beneath the image per the site’s editorial visual-attribution standard. Underlying factual content of the vessel class, displacement, and shipyard remained unchanged.
Verified against: Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE) Ltd. and Indian Navy press release archive.
27 May 2026 · Wetlands Rules 2017 Supreme Court Notice (May 2026)
Type: Sourcing (primary source reattribution)
Original: India’s Ramsar site count and the wetlands governance framework were initially drawn from a secondary aggregator summary.
Corrected to: Reattributed to the Ramsar Convention Secretariat country profile for India and the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) Wetlands Rules, 2017 gazette text. Figures and dates verified against the primary record.
Verified against: Ramsar Secretariat: India country profile and MoEFCC portal.
27 May 2026 · CA editorial sweep (22 articles, 20–26 May 2026)
Type: Editorial language (internal-jargon removal)
Original: Across multiple Current Affairs articles published 20–26 May 2026, sub-section H3 headings used a recurring internal-authoring framing (e.g., “Three institutional anchors”, “Three converging significances”) that read as template language rather than topic-descriptive headings.
Corrected to: H3 headings rewritten to topic-descriptive language specific to each article. Underlying factual content unchanged; this was a readability and clarity fix.
Verified against: Pre-publish editorial review and aspirant feedback that the original phrasing read as opaque jargon.
