Jagati Publications Limited is proposing changes to separate the Circulation and Promotion activities into separate teams. Currently these activities are handled by the same staff. The summary is:
1. The Circulation and Promotion activities will be separated, with dedicated teams for each.
2. The reporting structure will remain the same, with the Promotion wing continuing to report to the Circulation in-charge.
3. Standardized reports will be implemented to reduce duplication across departments. Circulation will provide standard formats and departments can reformat as needed.
