It is located {{cvt|24|km}} east of the district headquarters of Kanchipuram, {{cvt|5|km}} from Sriperumbudur, and {{cvt|50|km}} from the state capital Chennai. Molasur is administered by a village panchayat. Sogandi and Nandimedu are nearby villages belonging to Molasur Panchayat. DemographicsMolasur is a large village located in the Tindivanam taluk of the Viluppuram District, Tamil Nadu. According to the population census of 2011, the village has a population of approximately 2,798, of which 1412 are male and 1386 are female.[5] A total of 639 families reside there. The majority of the people are either Hindu, Christian, or Muslim. EconomyTraditionally, the economy of the village had been based on local merchandise and agriculture. A few notable people became rich and had double floor bungalows and cars, assets, and properties on the road front. Most of the landlords were from the upper castes and most of the Thiruvallur Main Road front properties are occupied by Telugu-speaking castes, like Telugu Chettiyars, Reddyar, Naidus, and Tamil Mudaliars. Most of them were moneylenders. New economic policies were adopted by nearby companies, like Flextronics. After that, the growth of the local economy drastically increased. Most of the people were educated and worked in multinational corporations. Many people worked for government bodies or as unskilled labourers in nearby sipcots. This new industrialization has helped to reduce the village's crime rate, including robbery and theft. Theft was a big issue in the village. With the economy growing, land prices increased, leaving the majority of people landless. Landlords began looting public lands and government lands with the help of bureaucrats. Transport and CommunicationGovernment buses are the primary mode of transportation. Villagers also use motorcycles and cars. The nearby junction for transportation is Sunguvarchathram which is on the Bangalore National Highway. There buses run to Chennai, Kanchipuram, Chengalpet, Thiruvallur, Vellore, Thiruvannamalai and Bangalore. Mobile phones are widely used. Advanced networks like 3G and 4G are widely used in the village. EducationEducation is central to the development of the village. The government school started as an elementary school but was then upgraded to a high school. After a few years, it became a higher secondary school and it is now a center for public examinations. In the past, Molasur School was the only school for surrounding villages. Students from more than 10 villages studied at this institution. Most of the teachers at the school were Telugu-speaking people. Telugu speakers have also started private schools, and this helped raise the level of education in the area. Some of the teachers were able to support talented students by paying their expenses. The Molasur School was built on land donated by a Telugu-speaking Christian Naidu. Notable teachers are Balasamy, Thomas, Emili, Susaimary, and the Thayyal teacher (a craft teacher). Unfortunately, the quality of the government school has not been maintained. This has led students to move to the well-known Don Bosco Higher Secondary School in Pannur, {{cvt|6|km}} from Molasur. The private schools in Molasur are:
ReligionThe three major religions in the village are Hindu, Islam, and Christianity. Many of the Hindus are meat-eaters, but some abstain from pork or beef. The famous temples of Molasur are Karumaari Amman Koil, Pillayar Koil, Murugar Koil (recently renovated by crores of rupees) and Maathamman Koil. Masana Kollai and Vinayagar Chadurthi are famous temple festivals among the town's residents. Since the Hindu people are the original settlers of Molasur village, the caste system divides them and most of the areas are occupied according to their caste. In Odai Theru and Palla Molasur are scheduled castes and tribes; Thriuvallur High Road is occupied by Mudaliar and Chettiyars; the nearby Ramadoss Theater is inhabited by Acharis (also known as Smiths); the Karumariamman Koil area is occupied by Vaniiyars, and Irular have a separate area nearby Thiruvallur road. In the 1960's, Nadar Hindus from the south of Tamilnadu migrated for business. Later on, the education and the economy and the Dravidian movements made them unite politically and socially. At the time of British rule, a group of predominantly Roman Catholic Christians migrated from Andhra and settled in Molasur. There are also Christian believers from scheduled castes and tribes including CSI, and Pentecost. Madha koil festival is very famous and all religious people used to participate. Islamic believers in Molasur migrated from other parts of Tamil Nadu like Idaikazhinaadu (Coastal Mahabalipuram), Vandavasi, Pallapatty, and Attur. There are also a few people from the time of Sultan and Nawab rule who are Urdu speakers. There are two mosques in Molasur and the main mosque is in the junction in Sunguvarchatram. Most Muslims follow the Sunni tradition of Islam and some Urdu speaking Muslims believe in Sufism. Muslims were mostly merchants, butchers and exporters.[6] References1. ^ tags -->| area_footnotes = | area_urban_footnotes = |
