PREFACE
The main objective of vocational education is to train the students at +2 level for meeting the demands for the skilled manpower in both organised and unorganised sectors and also to provide an alternative channel for those who aimlessly persue higher education and to prepare them for self reliance. The State Institute of
Vocational Education (SIVE) in collaboration with the Board of Intermediate Education, Andhra Pradesh has developed curriculum for 43 vocational courses in the field of
Engineering & Technology Agriculture Health & Paramedical Business & Commerce Home Science and Humanities
Accordingly the text books have been developed by SIVE as per the restructured curriculum by utilizing the services of various professional teachers in the respective fields. I am sure that this book will be immensely useful to the vocational students and teachers in understanding the concepts.
I wish to place my sincere thanks on record to Sri Shali Habibulla, Author of this text book for extending his support in developing this book for printing and publishing.
I shall be grateful to receive suggestions and observations from all the readers which would help in bringing out a revised and improved version of this book in future.
Sri. Shashank Goel, I.A.S.,
Director & Secretary Board of Intermediate Education Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad
