Simple, quick, dirty, wont solve basic problems, but should get managers off your back.
1) Install seperate ASDL internet connection for managers,
2) Run this through a good cheap hardware firewall, (I use SONICWALL, but there are others as good if not better)
3) Take out proxy configuration for managers, and replace with “gatway” setting pointing to new firewall. This should not affect normal lan connection unless you have internal gateways, and routers between floors, in this case will need to configure firewall routing to compensate.

If you need more help, contact privately, I will need some detailed info regarding your network setup.

If you point the users directly to your firewall, you could reduce the amount of delay from the proxy. Depends on how your routes are set up. If you have an ISA or proxy server then the likelihood is there’s a filter between you and the outside ensuring the only traffic is to and from the proxy. If your manager wants this surely he can get permission for you to make this change to your existing proxy. Unusual network activity like an unlisted proxy or traffic bypassing the existing one is going to ring some bells with someone.

Yep Aftab Your Absolutely Right!!!,
But I cant go to Head Office and workout there for proxy server. I already got that idea before. But there are some restrictions in head office.

For that reason i want to implement High Speed Internet COnnections. Manager Itself asking for High Speed Internet Connection of Sify.

Give me the way to install and configure one dedicated server for Internet Connections As Gateway for Manager to access internet, but be sure..without disturbing to my LAN.. Is I could able to configure both internet and LAN to Manager.

Just make sure you have a decent amount of bandwidth and then configure you proxy server to give more priority to the people in the managers group. this functionality is present in most of the proxy servers.
