Mudukulathur is a panchayat town in the Ramanathapuram district of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
It is a highly underdeveloped region of the state, most of the families in the town and neighboring villages making their living from farming, which depends on irregular seasonal rain and depleted groundwater resources. More than a third of the population lives in poverty, social harmony is fragile because of recurring caste clashes, and educational levels of the youth of the town are below state average.
There are no employment generating economical or industrial activities at the local level and the town lacks leadership on socio-economical spheres. Bargaining or lobbying power of the local administration with the state government and its agencies are at best very limited to non-existent. There are no socio-economic institutions in this town or taluk.
Health is major concern in Mudukulathur, with most of the men and women around 50 years of age having blood pressure problems, diabetes, arthritis etc. For health facilities people depend on the nearby town of Parmakkudi. The government hospital serves the people of the town and the villages around it. But quality health care is a distant dream and preventive health care is something people are not aware of; this is the case with the majority of the Indian population irrespective of education or wealth levels.
