In a special initiative on Friday, promotions were granted to 82 employees across 12 cadres, and 77 more received career progression benefits under the revised scheme, as part of the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation’s (NMMC) ongoing 100-day action plan. This significant administrative effort was undertaken under the leadership of Municipal Commissioner Dr. Kailas Shinde, aiming to boost employee welfare and streamline internal governance mechanisms.
The 100-day action plan, inspired by the Chief Minister’s vision, is being actively implemented in all government and semi-government offices. Under the plan, NMMC has taken up various initiatives, including cleanliness drives, citizen-centric governance reforms, and enhancements in digital service delivery. As part of this initiative, NMMC’s administrative department has prioritized long-pending matters concerning employee promotions and the implementation of the revised assured career progression scheme.
