ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I Amandeep Kaur of MBA, extremely grateful to my Respected Sir Mr. Bhupinderjit Singh Bambah for providing me healthy atmosphere, infrastructure and excellent facilities with the help of which I am able to complete my project with my satisfaction. I also express my gratitude towards Mrs. Megha Sudhir and my teachers of institute, who were always there to help in my hours of need. I learnt a lot of new things from them. At each step all of the teachers were with me. I would have not been able to complete my project without their painstaking help.

Once again thank my Centre Head and all my Respected Teachers, who helped me to achieve my objective in time. Amandeep Kaur
