As per the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, which of the following activities is/are not considered as 'industry' ?

Under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the definition of 'industry' is provided in Section 2(j). While the original definition was broad, the 1982 Amendment specifically listed several exclusions to clarify the scope of the term. According to this amended provision, the following are not considered as 'industry':

• Hospitals or dispensaries;
• Educational, scientific, research or training institutions;
• Institutions engaged in charitable, social or philanthropic services;
• Khadi or village industries;
• Every activity of the Government relatable to sovereign functions (e.g., defence, atomic energy);
• Domestic service;
• Professions practiced by individuals or clubs/associations employing fewer than ten persons.

Since all three options (Domestic service, Khadi or village industries, and Hospitals or dispensaries) are explicitly excluded under the Act's amended definition, the correct answer is All of the above.
