(This is only a

Through this acknowledgement I express my sincere gratitude
towards all those people who helped me in this project, which
has been a learning experience.
This space wouldn’t be enough to extend my warm
gratitude towards my project guide
< ................................... > for <his/her> efforts in coordinating
with my work and
guiding in right direction.
I escalate a heartfelt regards to our Institution Director
<………………………> for giving me the essential hand in
concluding this work.
It would be injustice to proceed without acknowledging those
vital supports I received from my beloved classmates and

I also use this space to offer my sincere love to my parents and
all others who had been there, helping me walk through this
work.
