ACKNOWLEDGMENT

It is not possible to prepare a project report without the assistance &

encouragement of other people. This one is certainly no exception.

On the very outset of this report, I would like to extend my sincere & heartfelt

obligation towards all the personages who have helped me in this endeavor. Without

their active guidance, help, cooperation & encouragement, I would not have made

headway in the project.

I am extremely thankful and pay my gratitude to my faculty Miss Jyoti Chandwani

for her/his valuable guidance and support on completion of this project in its

presently.

I extend my gratitude to Auro University for giving me this opportunity.

I also acknowledge with a deep sense of reverence, my gratitude towards my parents and member of my family, who has always supported me morally as well as economically.

At last but not least gratitude goes to all of my friends who directly or indirectly helped me to complete this project report. Any omission in this brief acknowledgement does not mean lack of gratitude.

Thanking You
