keen supervision, and constructive criticism. Friendly attitude and whole-hearted help throughout the course of this project. Their unforgettable, positive approach and freehand acumen made this project possible. PREFACE The problem of unemployment is one of our major problems. This problem has been troubling us ever since we gained independence. One reason for growing unemployment in the country is our faulty education system. Students are given bookish knowledge without any training for specific jobs. To solve this problem to some extent training programmes are being introduced. This helps the students to increase their job perspective. Training can be done in industries, business-houses, sales and income tax department of various central, state, local, government societies etc.

A project work programme in industry is to get an overall view and exposure of the industry and its working environment. It enhances the confidence and boosts the morale of the students who go for their project in the industry. These programmes are included in the curriculum of studies for development of the personality of the finance students and get a first hand experience about the working of the industry.
