First of all, we would like to thank our parents who have always been there as our strength, allowing us to stay in university so that we can work efficiently. We are grateful for their co-operation and support. We especially like to thank venerated Ma’am Naseem Bukhari for her support and precious time she has given us. We would also like to thank our esteemed seniors who were there all the time helping us and solving our problems. We owe a lot to the administration of IBA. Last but not the least our group members have worked their heart out for this presentation… THANKS TO ALL!!!
