A host of perpetrators made reporters and photographers, even editors, fair game as there were murders, attacks, threats, and cases filed against them for defamation, sedition, and internet- related offences. It was a year in which two journalists were shot at point blank range and killed, and one was hacked to death as police stood by and did not stop the mob. The following statistics have been compiled from The Hoot’s Free Speech Hub monitoring: Ø 3 killings of journalists which can be clearly linked to their journalism Ø 46 attacks Ø 27 cases of police action including detentions, arrests and cases filed. Ø 12 cases of threats These are conservative estimates based on reporting in the English press. The major perpetrators as the data in this report shows tend to be the police and politicians and political workers, followed by right wing activists and other non-state actors Law makers became law breakers as members of parliament and legislatures figured among the perpetrators of attacks or threats. These cases included a minister from UP who threatened to set a journalist on fire, and an MLA from Chirala in Andhra Pradesh and his brother accused of being behind a brutal attack on a magazine journalist.

Country and Sector Background: In 1991 literacy in India was only 52 percent and one-third of children in the age group 6-11 years were out of school. The Government of India understood the task of universalization of primary education seriously and explored the possibility of resource support from bilateral and multilateral donors. The World Bank extended for the first time assistance to the Uttar Pradesh Basic Education Project in 1993 and supported the national District Primary Education Program (DPEP) in 1994, followed by a series of DPEP in India. This project is seventh in the Public Disclosure Authorized series. Government of Rajasthan recognizes that primary education is key to poverty alleviation and growth, and has sought to make it an investment priority despite its current difficult fiscal situation. This effort is evident in recent improvements in literacy across the state. The literacy growth rate between 1991 and 1997 was the highest in Rajasthan at 16.5 percent compared to the other educationally backward Hindi speaking states. Preliminary analysis the 2001 Census also reveals that Rajasthan witnessed the highest increase in overall literacy rates across India for the last decade at 22.53 and 23.94 percent for males and females respectively.
