Mudukulathur (Tamil: முதுகுளத்தூர்) is a panchayat town in Ramanathapuram district in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. A highly under-developed region of the state. Most of the families of this town and villages around are making their living out of farming and farm related activities,unfortunately that mainly depends on irregular seasonal rain and depleted ground water resources. More than one third of the population is living in poverty.Social harmony is very fragile because of recurring caste clashes.Educational levels of the youth of this town are below state average.
There are no employment generating economical or industrial activities at the local level and this town lacks in 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 here.Most of the men and women around 50 year of age are having Blood Pressure,Diabetes, Arthritis etc.For health facilities people depend on the nearby town Parmakkudi. The government hospital serves the poor people of this town and the villages around it. But the quality health care is a distant dream and preventive health care is something people are not aware of, anyways this is the case with majority of Indian population irrespective of education or wealth levels.

During olden days, the town used to be called Mutthukulathur meaning "the town with pearls in its lakes" in Tamil with obvious reference to the three ponds "oorani". However the name of the town changed over the years to Mudhukulathur meaning "town of oldest ponds" in an ironical reference to the absence of the pearls and the ponds drying up.
