Hi, Sathish,

while I'm not proficient enough in the Ada language to give You a comprehensive
answer, i'd suggest that a look at the Ada Manual and Rationale of the two
Ada versions might be helpful.  They can both be read online:

http://www.adahome.com/Resources/refs/83.html and
http://www.adahome.com/Resources/refs/rat95.html

Furthermore, I woulnd't be surprised if http://www.adahome.com/ had some more
information that could help You.

cheers,
Florian

There's a chart at  
http://www.adacore.com/home/ada_answers/comparison-chart that gives a very  
high-level comparison of the features available in the three versions of  
Ada.  Not much info, but an overview that might get you started.

Right.  More detailed info is available in the AARM.
Look at:

http://www.adaic.org/standards/ada05.html

and you will find various documents.  If you look in the AARM,
you will find detailed lists of all changes between Ada 83 and Ada 95,
and also between Ada 95 and Ada 2005.

The three big features added between 83 and 95 were:

Support for OOP (tagged types, class-wide types, dispatching calls, ...)

Hierarchical library units (child packages)

Protected objects
