A statement released during the day by the state government's public relations department informed the unemployment rate in the state was 0.4 per cent in August, while this was 8.3 per cent during the same month last year.
The unemployment rate was 0.8 per cent in July, 0.7 per cent in May and a low of 0.6 per cent in March-April, the statement quoted a government public relations officer as saying.

He cited programmes like Rajiv Gandhi Kisan Nyay Yjana, the Godhan Nyay Yojana, Suraji Gaon Yojana, Narva-Garva-Ghurva-Badi, and Rajiv Gandhi Gramin Bhumiheen Kisan Nyay Yojana, among others, for this feat.
