(This is only a
sample)

Through this acknowledgement I express my sincere gratitude

towards all those people who helped me in this project, which
has been a learning experience.

This space wouldn’t be enough to extend my warm

gratitude towards my project guide
< ................................... > for <his/her> efforts in coordinating
with my work and
guiding in right direction.

I escalate a heartfelt regards to our Institution Director

<………………………> for giving me the essential hand in
concluding this work.

It would be injustice to proceed without acknowledging those

vital supports I received from my beloved classmates and
friends, without whom I would have been half done.

I also use this space to offer my sincere love to my parents and

all others who had been there, helping me walk through this
work.
