Abstract	In India’s agriculture landscape, Sericulture is the conscious mass-scale rearing of silk producing organisms to obtain silk that make contribution to both the rural economy and the nation’s textile industry. Namakkal district of Tamil Nadu is famous for its sericulture activities which act as a major source of livelihood for many people in the region. The present study aims to shed light on the resource use and cost efficiency pattern of sericulture cultivation in Namakkal district of Tamil Nadu. This analysis will examine factors such as mulberry cultivation, and silkworm rearing while considering both direct and indirect costs that involved in cultivation. For data collection, 60 sericulture farmers are selected randomly and interviewed through a structured questionnaire. It has been found that large farmers get high profit as compared to small and medium farmers. Therefore, sericulture cultivation is highly beneficial to the large farmers.
