I agree with that as well. Although, some people think project and program are interchangeable definitions and are the same thing, when they aren't.

Rajasekar,
agree.
Some additional aspects:
- in any organization doing projects there is a portfolio, if it is formally called so or not, if there are portfolio specific processes or not. This differs from programs and projects that must be chartered.
- program components could be sub-programs, projects or other work. I ran a program where I included data center operations as other work, a considerable junk of work.

Oscar,
components of a program may be projects, sub-programs or other work (e.g. operations). Sub-programs differ from projects the same way programs do.
