PREFACE
The most motivating aspect associated with pursuing a course in management is the dynamism associated with it. Dynamism of adding a new perspective to ones personality and vision by accumulating wider knowledge, developing analytical skills. Master of Business Administration (MBA) imparts the student with such virtues and prepares to take the business world in their stride. The project gives a considerable exposure to students and provides them with an opportunity to see the practical aspects of working of the corporate world. This project is yet another opportunity to see the application part of what we study or learn. Research studies constitute the backbone of any management education programme. A management student has to quite frequently do the research work during his entire span. Education becomes more meaningful when its theoretical aspects are combined with practical experience. It helps the students in improving their understanding of the studies. In this project, an attempt has been made to study the Absenteeism in Cargo Motors. It ensures that goals are consistently being met in an effective and efficient manner.
