The soil is thin and stony and cultivation depends upon the capricious rainfall in these blue serrated hills. Agriculture and military service were the main professions of residents until a few years ago. Now the population are entering employment in sectors such as education, healthcare and business. The old name Khardare was changed to Khairpur in 1947.
