<p>Sericulture is a popular livelihood in rural India due to its low investment and high returns, providing women opportunities for diverse activities. It generates eight jobs per acre of mulberry plantation, with just 0.5 acres able to support a family of three without hiring labor. With low gestation periods and high profitability, sericulture is ideal for marginalized communities. Women fulfill about 60% of the labor in the global sericulture industry, as their precision and patience make them particularly skilled in handling silkworms. The present study examines the socio-economic profile of sericulture farmers in the districts of Uttar Dinajpur and Malda, West Bengal, India. The research focuses on understanding the relationship between various social factors and their impact on enhancing the revenue generation capacity of these farmers. We found that marginalized peoples of the study area were mostly dependent on sericulture practice as their main occupation. Most of the farmers were reported as merely liberated with large family size. Both males and females were engaged in this agro-industry with many years of experience. Statistical analysis revealed that farmers’ age, experience, household size and educational qualification had a positive influence on their income. As well as beneficiary farmers who acquired training from sericultural extension education (SEE) programme had higher level of adoption to new improved technologies with perceptible impact change. Consequently, this study may enhance the understanding of seri-practice and help to formulate strategies for achieving viable sericulture practices in the near future.</p>
