The researchers had the finding out its utility in reality. This study focuses on work done in the Pondicherry Union territory. A Stratified random sampling technique was used for analysis to identify participants to determine if rigor was evident and at what levels. Therefore, the findings may be of help to the policymakers to make necessary actions in future implementation.
