Bhojpur, an eastern hilly district, is famous for the Khukuri business. Khukuri made here is not only discussed in Nepal but outside the country as well. Lately, this business has started facing problems due to lack of skillful Kaligad and raw materials.

On the one hand, the lack of skilled Kaligarh, on the other, the migration of young people who need to learn skills, has hit this business. Ghanshyam Bishwakarma, an aran industrialist, said that the trend of young people going abroad for employment and education has increased, 'the number of aran industries making khukuri is decreasing day by day due to youth migration and lack of raw materials.'

In addition to the district headquarters, Bhojpuri Khukuri has been made in Kot, Dalgaon, Gogane, Khawa, Khairang, Taksar, Bokhim, Danwa, Timma, Dingla, Deurali, Zarayotar and other areas. Due to lack of raw materials in Kaligad and forest production, the industries of these areas have also reached a state of closure.

Since the Rana period and the Panchayat period, the famous Bhojpuri Khukuri has been complaining about the lack of manpower and raw materials like wood, coal, and firewood. Dinesh Gajmer, the owner of Ranjita Khukuri Udyog says, 'Skilled people are not found in Kaligad, there is such a shortage of wood. Therefore, the production is tight, the demand cannot be met. Due to the shortage of Kaligad, there is a situation where they have to pay expensive wages.'

Hira Shrestha, the owner of Urmila Aran Udyog Bhojpur, said that khukuri is used, decorated and sold in Bhojpur from the reception and farewell of the employees. Sirupate, Basampate, Chitlange, Kothimuda, Panwala, Dharkhole, Buduna and other Khukuri are made in Bhojpur.

It is said that Khukuri production has been started here since 1965. Around 2027, when the then King Mahendra visited the district, Sing Bahadur Wik, a local of Bokhim, gave him Khukuri as a gift and after it was promoted with King Baksis, Khukuri here became popular, he said.
