An official communiqué on Tuesday said the latest data was from the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE).

In August, the figure stood at 0.4 percent -- that too was the lowest among all the states in the country.

The Bhupesh Baghel  government’s pro-farmer policies contributed to the feat. The welfare schemes it launched has boosted the rural economy, the            communiqué said.

The government's          ambitious Godhan Nyay Yojana aims to strengthen the cottage industries in villages to provide income-generating opportunities. 

Under the scheme, Gauthans (cow sheds) have been set up in the rural areas.

Some of the livelihood-related activities in rural industrial parks include producing vermi-compost, goat farming, producing incense sticks and dona-pattal (leaf plate), fish farming and egg and mushroom production.
