In the digital age, misinformation has proliferated, presenting significant challenges for trust in institutions and individuals. This paper focuses on the impact of misinformation on fostering altruism, particularly in a diverse country like India. Misinformation can fuel tensions between communities, exacerbating existing divisions and hindering efforts towards unity and harmony. Furthermore, it distorts perceptions of social needs and priorities, undermining individuals' motivation to engage in charitable activities or support marginalized communities. False narratives propagated by misinformation can also foster apathy or hostility towards certain groups, impeding progress towards social justice and equity. To combat this problem, factchecking plays a vital role in verifying information and promoting accurate knowledge. By promoting fact-checking practices and emphasizing the importance of credible information sources, individuals can make informed decisions, maintain trust, and contribute to fostering altruism in society
