From Knife Trade to Prosperity: Rampur’s New Chapter

The once‑famous Rampuri knife, a symbol of local craftsmanship, has been replaced by a narrative of development. Authorities say that under the current administration, concerted efforts have eliminated the illegal networks that once thrived on the knife business. New industrial zones, vocational training centres and government‑backed schemes are now providing alternatives for youth, helping the district move away from its past notoriety towards sustained economic health.
