 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

It is a fact that any research work prepared, compiled or formulated in isolation is inexplicable to an
extent. This research work, although prepared by me, is a culmination of efforts of a lot of people who
remained in veil, who gave their intense support and helped me in the completion of this project.

Firstly, I am very grateful to my subject teacher Dr. Sangeet Kumar, without the kind support and help
of whom the completion of this project was a herculean task for me. He donated his valuable time from
his busy schedule to help me to complete this project. I would like to thank him for his valuable
suggestions towards the making of this project.

I am highly indebted to my parents and friends for their kind co-operation and encouragement which
helped me in completion of this project. I am also thankful to the library staff of my college which
assisted me in acquiring the sources necessary for the compilation of my project.

Last but not the least, I would like to thank the Almighty who kept me mentally strong and in good
health to concentrate on my project and to complete it in time.

I thank all of them !
