Abstract :
Strategically millennium Development Goal-5 targeted to bring gender equity in almost all frontiers of life and undo the hither to historical inequality for harmonic development. It was expected that economic independence among educated women would promote gender equity. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by world leaders since 2015 have been observed to have differential responses across the nations including India. The present paper intended to identify the degree of gender equity among 250 lady teachers of Bhubaneswar, Odisha. The data have been collected through self-structured pre-tested questionnaire-cum-interview schedule. The selection of the subjects were drawn through purposive sampling method. Simple statistical tools like mean, percentage and SD have been used to identify the relational factors. The result manifested that gender discrimination continues to prevail in our society. It was found that higher percentage of lady teachers continue to struggle against subjugation and subordination. It has been ascertained that due to patriarchy gender equity is miles apart. Irrespective level of education and economic independence the gap between sustainable development and gender equity would continue so long androcentric mindset appears. It is suggested that the role of the State and of society at large need some kind of rigorous involvement for gender justice.
