Introduction:
In the recent past agriculture in the rural areas became a
relatively unrewarding exercise due to unfavorable price structures and
poor productivity, resulting in migration to urban areas.
Most of the poor in the rural areas are small farmers; tenants
share croppers, artisans and landless agricultural workers.

Rural Industry:
Rural industries more or less specialize in agriculture. According
the Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC):
Village Industry or rural industry means any industry located in
rural area, population of which does not exceed 10,000 or such other
figure which produces any goods or renders any services with or
without use of power and in which the fixed Capital Investment per
head of an artisan or a worker does not exceed a thousand Rupees.
The Government of India has recently modified the definition of
village industry as any industry located in rural area; village or town with
a population of 20,000 and below and an investment of Rs. 3 corers in
plant and machinery.
This was lowered to Rs. 1 crore. With this wider definition a toral
of 41 new village industries have been added to the category of village
industries.
