Acknowledgement
N o good work is created without joining hands, and it will be defi nitely
deluding and improper to say that we could have completed this study single-
handed. This effort was not carried out solely by us but was aided by a quite
few people whom we wish to thank now because this is the best time and
place.
We are thankful to Dr. Satish Shetye, V.C. of Goa University, and
V.P. Kamat, Registrar, Goa University, for providing necessary facilities and
Prof. Sanjeev Ghadi and Prof. Savita Kerkar for their support. Our sincere
thanks go to Prof. Saroj Bhosle, Prof. Irene Furtado, Prof. Sarita Nazareth,
Dr. Sandeep Garg, Dr. Lakshangy S. Charya, Dr. Priya D’ Costa, Dr. Vishwas
Khodse, Dr. Sanika Samant, Dr. Gauri Achari, Dr. Varada Damare, Dr. Trelita
de Sousa, Dr. Swapnil Doijad, Dr. S. B. Barbuddhe, Dr. Flory Pereira, Dr.
Mahesh Majik, Dr. Teja Gaonkar and Dr. Pranay Morajkar. I express my sin-
cere gratitude to the entire non-teaching staff including Mr. Shashikant Parab,
Budhaji, Dominic, Saraswati, Deepa, Narayan and Rudransh for their con-
stant help and support in various ways. We owe our deepest sense of gratitude
to our friends Mr. Uday Naik, Amar Degvekar, Kashinath Shetgaonkar and
Mrs Pranaya Naik. We also thank Government of India for fi nancial support
as SERB-DST young scientist project. We have successfully compiled our
creative and thoughtful research work due to genuine concern and painstak-
ing effort of many more well-wishers whose names are not mentioned, but
they are still in our heart. So, reward is surely worth for their efforts.
We want to dedicate this book to the late S hri Mohan Ladu Naik (retired
PSI Menkurem, Goa) and M rs Manisha Mohan Naik (Menkurem).
