Abstract

I extend my heartfelt thanks to my loving parents-Mr. Nagappayya Aithal, Mrs. Bhagya Aithal and my sister Ms. Shobha for their undying faith, support and encouragement. Last but not the least, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my husband Mr. Karthik Annadorai. This journey wouldn't have been possible in any way without the support, love and constant encouragement by him; I thank him with all my heart for being there, for loving me in my best and worst and never losing faith. This thesis is dedicated to my husband-my greatest supporter. v
