ABSTRACT
Service sector is the lifeblood of our economy. Change in business environmental conditions and
increased dependency on service sector, in ongoing 21st century, the service sector has gained
utmost importance. Service is a product of human activity that aims at satisfying society's variety
of needs. Service sector is very large and accounts for about two-third of global economic
activities. It helps to integrate national economy with global economy, higher economic
efficiency, more employment, better customer choice and quality of life. The globalization and
liberalisation as a result of "New Industrial Policy" has opened new vistas for development of
service generating organizations. Today service sector is the most competing industry. The
service organizations active in enriching their strength have been found establishing their edge
and compelling the weaker organizations to make a final good bye. This makes it essential that
even in Indian conditions, the service-generating organizations have to make sincere efforts to
make themselves stronger and stronger. If they want to survive, they have to diversify their
activities in various profitable avenues such as banking, insurance, education, transportation
etc. to compete at national as well as at international level.
