Consequent on the amendments of KVIC Act, the village industries under the purview of KVIC have been classified into seven broad groupings. These are:
- Mineral based industry.
- Forest based industry
- Agro based and food industry
- Polymer and chemical based industry
- Engineering and non-conventional energy
- Textile industry (excluding Khadi), and
- Service industry.
With the widening of the scope of village industries KVI has added 90 new village industry activities making a total of 116 village industries as against 26 industries covered earlier.
