ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
It would be a great pleasure to write a few words, which would although not
suffice as the acknowledgment of this long cherished effort, but in the absence of
which this report would necessarily be incomplete. So, these words of
acknowledgement come as a small gesture of gratitude towards all those people,
without whom the successful completion of this project would not have been
possible.
Firstly, we would like to express deep gratitude towards our guide (Mr. / Dr.
ADARSH MISHRA) and our Project Coordinator Mr. , who gave their
valuable suggestions, motivation and direction to proceed at every stage. In
appreciation I offer them my sincere gratitude; I would also express my heart felt
gratitude towards the Head of Department Mr. .
Last but not the least; we would like to thank the department of Electrical
Engineering, University Polytechnic, Integral University, Lucknow.
