>>The blurb in the front-page report, “Poverty levels down by 15% in eight years” (July 17, 2013, some editions), wrongly said the latest NSSO data showed a decline from 37% in 2011-12 to 22% in 2004-05 for all of India. It should have been 37% in 2004-05 to 22% in 2011-12. The text of the report had given the respective years correctly.

>>July 12 is Malala Day. It is not November 10 as the report, “Books, pens are most powerful weapons” (July 13, 2013, some editions), said. It was an editing error.
