 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We extend my sincere gratitude to God who gave me strength to complete my project work
well in time. Then, we would like to thank my parents who got me admitted to this
prestigious institution and be a part of that.

Then, we would like to thank my subject teacher, Dr. Sabina Salim and Mr. Purshotam for
taking up this subject in such a vivid and enthusiastic way and for taking up the topics in the
class in a very systematic and detailed approach. So much as to the fact that when it came to
the project work of same, the idea was already preconceived in mind as to how to go about
the topic.

We also like to thank the UILS Library and staff for providing the various reference books
that came as a great source of research.

Thank you.
