The second chapter deals with the methodology of the study. Under methodology sources of data, sampling procedure, tools for data collection, process of data collection and limitations of the study are presented. The third chapter gives detailed description of the data obtained from the respondents along with the analysis and interpretation of the data. The fourth chapter incorporates findings and recommendations of the study followed by the suggestions for further researchers. The references and appendices are given at the end.
