Jaunpur, Sep 6 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh government will provide low interest loans from Khadi Gramodyog to the unemployed in the naxal-affected districts of Sonebhadra, Mirzapur and Chandauli.

Khadi Gramodyog Minister Rajaram Pandey told mediapersons here yesterday, under the 'Mukhyamantri Rozgar Yozna', the bank would lend low interest rate loans to youth.
