Summer Training
A summer Internship is an essential requirement for the fulfilment of a Degree in the discipline
of Management. It is a key pedagogical tool that enables students to understand and apply
academic learning into practice. AICTE recognizes that “Internships help in creating conditions
conducive to the quest for knowledge and its applicability in work.”
The internship enables students to pitch their work in the final placement and convince
the recruiters about their potential. Recruiters take Summer Projects very seriously. For
employers, it is the most authentic tool to judge the competence of the students as future
employees.

 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

A few typewritten words of thanks cannot really express the sincerity of my gratitude. But I
am still trying to put into words my gratefulness towards all who have helped and encouraged
me in carrying out this project. This project of mine bears the imprint of many people who have
an important impact on my thinking, behavior, and acts during the course of study.

First of all we would like to take this opportunity to thank the LOVELY PROFESSIONAL
UNIVERSITY for having summer training as a part of the MBA degree. The accomplishment
of this project otherwise would have been painstaking endeavor, for lack of staunch and sincere
support of the Mittal School of Business, LPU. The incessant and undeterred succors extended
by the members of the department facilitated the job to the great extent. If this goes unnoticed
and unacknowledged it would be selfishness.

Many people have influenced the shape and content of this project, and many supported me
throughout. I express my sincere gratitude to Mr. <Name>, <Designation>, <Affilation>, who
was available for help whenever i required, his guidance, gentle persuasion and active support
has made it possible to complete this project.

I also owe my thanks to my respondents who gave their great contributions in getting my
questionnaires fulfilled. I have immensely benefited from my interactions with my friends and
I acknowledge their contributions to my learning.

In the end, I can say only this much that “ALL ARE NOT MENTIONED, BUT NONE IS
FORGOTTEN”
Last but not the least I would like to thank GOD, who continues to look after us despite all my
flaws.
