Madhumalla is a village development committee in Morang District in the Koshi Zone of south-eastern Nepal. At the time of the 1991 Nepal census it had a population of 14,838 people living in 2,697 individual households. Situated at the foothills of Raja rani mountain, Madhumalla is a humble village sandwiched by two rivers Mawa and Nunsari. A huge and historically important place,Madhumalla boasts of the natural beauty,the united people,the huge MAWA NUNSARI Community forest. It neighbours Urlabari municipality to its south, Damak municipality to its east and south, Illam district to its north.[1] The Urlabari-Madhumalla road connects Madhumalla to the East West highway. Most of the people earn their living by farming. The youths leave for foreign employment in a young age so the village seems devoid of young people. Most of the people are poor and uneducated thanks to the slugging economy dependent on traditional farming and social dogma.There used to be one of the huge market in Madhumalla in the past. According to old people it was second biggest after Dharan Bazaar but due to negligence and lack of proper management the market has dramatically been decreasing over past few years. There is a public library named "Lekhnath Library" established by a foreign national which has its own history. There are three governmental educational institutions ranging from primary to higher secondary levels. There are more than 5 private boarding schools in Madhumalla which are providing educational facilities to the future citizens of the country. Two private hospitals,a governmental Primary health centre and many small clinics are providing the health services to the people. Politics in everything, corruption, illiteracy, migration, unemployment at local level, apathy of the educated people in development are the main problems prevailing in this village development committee of south eastern Nepal.
ECONOMY
The economy is largely based on agriculture like most of the part of Nepal though Service sector has made a lot of progress.There are no large scale industries in the village though some small and medium scale are prevelant.Madhumalla depends upon Urlabari and Damak for most daily items necessary though some traders also go to India for trade.
Politics
Politics is an important factor affecting the people in everyday life.From the ellite class politics of Kathmandu to dirty local level politics,people are aware of everything though superficially and it won't be an irony that most of these "awaring information" are either myth,propaganda or rumours.Politics is really a dirty game affecting the educational,service sector and the overall development of Madhumalla.The tea shop politics is leading people nowhere unless they really want a change.
Development
There are two governmental higher secondary institutions educating the future students of Madhumalla viz.Manohar Janata Higher Secondary School and Bhagawati Higher Secondary School with the former headed by Mr.Lila Nath Bhandari.There is a 6 km long road joining Madhumalla from the East-West Highway.Though some part are black topped as of November 2012,rate of progress is very low.The people of Madhumalla have waited for decades to see the buses running smoothly in the now dusy roads.There is a Primary Health Care Centre ,a newly built VDC office and a restablished Police Station.
SPORTS
Football is the most popular sport.Regional,local and school level games are often held.
CRIME
Without a police station for several years,Madhumalla went to a state of Anarchy.The number of thugs,robbers,murderes increased enoromously.The widening political division and proper programmes have done anything but help in these transitional phase.
