At the outset, I take this opportunity to thank my Professor BRITTO STALIN from the

bottom of my heart who have been of immense help during moments of anxiety and torpidity

while the project was taking its crucial shape.

Secondly, I convey my deepest regards to the Vice Chancellor Arun Roy IAS and the

administrative staff of TNNLS who held the project in high esteem by providing reliable

information in the form of library infrastructure and database connections in times of need.

Thirdly, the contribution made by my parents and friends by foregoing their precious time

is unforgettable and highly solicited. Their valuable advice and timely supervision paved the

way for the successful completion of this project.

Finally, I thank the Almighty who gave me the courage and stamina to confront all

hurdles during the making of this project. Words arent sufficient to acknowledge the

tremendous contributions of various people involved in this project, as I know Words are Poor

Comforters. I once again wholeheartedly and earnestly thank all the people who were involved

directly or indirectly during this project making which helped me to come out with flying

colours.
