Kalyan Sagar Nippani to Hold Additional Charge of Director (HR) at MTNL Till December

Dr Kalyan Sagar Nippani, Director (HR) at Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), will continue to hold additional charge of the same post at Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) till December this year, according to an order of the Department of Telecommunications (DoT).

MTNL provides telecom services in Delhi and Mumbai, and BSNL runs the business across the rest of the country. The Director (HR) post on each board oversees personnel management, and Nippani covers the role for both companies.

The word 'continue' in the order indicates that the dual charge was already in place and has been extended. The brief does not state when he took it up first.

The order suggests MTNL has no regular Director (HR) at present. The DoT will have to fill the board position or extend the arrangement beyond December.

The charge runs till December this year.
