Dear Sonali,
The last paragraph of my previous reply still holds good. To gain visibility and also to learn in your field, you need to identify scope to reduce some cost or consumption of resources by launching some HR intervention. When you will be able to do a real change, you will earn the trust of your employer.
To begin with, you may talk to the HODs and what can be done to improve their effectiveness.
Nevertheless, there are two other factors that also need to be considered. How the top management views the HR function? From the description of your duties given in the first post, it appears that their view is traditional. Against this backdrop, what support will they give that remains to be seen.
Lastly, the important factor is we are passing through a deadly COVID-19 pandemic. The ill effects of the second wave will be felt on the economy after a few months. Therefore, out of frustration, it may not be advisable to quit the job. Whatever dislike for the monotony maybe, put up with it and wait for the situation in the job market to improve.
The situation that you are passing through is fait accompli of many other HRs too. Only a few students from the HR discipline who graduate from very top-notch institutes get a job wherein they handle proper HR activities. Almost all others have to grapple with the erstwhile personnel management that is camouflaged as the HR management. In India, the change from personnel to HR is just like old wine in a new bottle with a new label. The real evolution has never happened.
Thanks,
