Gender inequality affects every aspect of the society, most prominently in the education system.  Women face discrimination right from the childhood and the same continues though out their life time. The gender disparities very well prevail in the professional career as well. The present paper investigates into the issues gender equalities and differences the field of Library & Information Science in the state of Odisha, both in the education and in profession. The research found that there is a huge gap in the percentage between male and female student while pursuing education where the female students dominates the male counterpart. On the other hand, there is a reverse scenario in the job positions of library professionals in different universities. Gender differences may not be in the minds of the LIS professionals of Odisha, as depicted in the present survey, but in reality the gaps exist in senior level job positions, pay and working conditions. Female are still under-represented at more senior level jobs, especially in the national level institutions such as IITs, IIMs, universities etc.
