 Acknowledgement

No one walks alone on the journey of life. Just where you start to thank those that joined you,
walked beside you, and helped you along the way continuously. A research cannot be said to
be work of an individual. A research is a combination of views and ideas, suggestions and
contributions of many people.

I take this opportunity to thank all the people whose cooperation and encouragement made
the completion of this research project a possibility. First of all I wish to express my sincere
gratitude to my mentor Mr Sowani under whose guidance the Research was undertaken.
Without her supervision at each stage of research, the task would not have been accomplished
.Last but not the least I wish to thank all the respondents who gave me some of their valuable
time to fill up the questionnaires, without which the Research wouldn’t have been a success.
