Demography

Agriculture is a forgotten profession nowadays. Small land holdings and no proper source of irrigation have forced people to look for alternatives. From then on until the mid-1990s Middle East was the favourite destination for the workers. Now people from Kharana are working and living in Europe. Few are well settled and living with their families in Europe. Kharana Pir Ghazi has served nation with all its might in army navy and air force.
