MESSAGE OF THE QUAID

MUHAMMAD ALI JINNAH

I particularly appeal to our intelligentsia and Muslim students to come forward and rise to the occasion. You have performed wonders in the past. You are still capable of repeating the history. You are not lacking in the great qualities and virtues in comparison with the other nations. Only you have to be fully conscious of that fact and to act with courage, faith and unity. (Message to Pakistan Day, issued from Delhi March 23, 1943)

Acknowledgements
In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful Writing an internship report appeared to be a great experience to me. It added a lot to my knowledge while I was working on this report. If I say that this report is one of my great experiences in student life, then it would not be wrong. Completion of internship report is not an easy task. It requires continuous hard work and zeal. Completion of this report would have not been possible without the support of all staff members at the bank, my respected teachers, my friends and my well wishers. I would like to mention that Mr. Khalid Javaid Mughal, who is working as BDO at the branch, has been very kind and supportive throughout my stay at the branch. I would like to pay my gratitude to my teacher Rashid CH, Punjab computer College Lahore. Who provided me guidance; with their guidance and assistance I completed my report. Last but not the least I would like to thank my parents who provided me love, support, patience & good knowledge. May Allah Showered His countless Blessings upon Us
