ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Dear Ritu Dhaka ma’am,
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who

could not have completed this project without the valuable
assistance of the following people:
• My parents, for providing me with the necessary
resources and encouragement to complete the project.
• The local library, for providing me with the required
books and materials to gather information about my
project topic.
• Ritu Dhaka ma’am, for sharing their valuable knowledge
and expertise on the subject and providing me with the
required guidance to complete the project.
I also thank my classmates for their support and
encouragement throughout the project. Their feedback and
