Incomplete report
The last page news on female literacy rate
really disappointed me. I could not find the message "call to improve..." in the
report. Next, the story was not about female literacy, which is actually very poor, as the
headline suggested. And, in one hand the reporter Ranjana Pradhan said that "the
programme expressed satisfaction over significant development in the area of literacy in
the last five decade time." And on the other, she adds that "the pace of growth
still seems inadequate to meet the goals of Ninth Five Year Plan". How can one show
satisfaction if the goals are not met? The news was about a programme, but the reporter
forgot to write on the conclusion of the programme , and also missed several important
points. Perhaps, she was not present in the programme- that is my conclusion. I hope the
reporters will try to make their stories complete for our sake.
