A Batch Release Certificate is a document issued by a medical device manufacturer that provides evidence they tested a batch of devices against specifications.

The rapid expansion of the life insurance profession in India over recent years has delivered many benefits. It has
enabled families and individuals to protect themselves against some of life’s most serious risks, and to plan for their
financial security in retirement.
However, the sector does not have an unblemished record. There have been high profile situations where, frankly, the
consumer interest has been a second-tier priority. The task of the IRDA, as Regulator, is to promote and protect the
interests of policyholders.
The future success of the life insurance profession depends, above all, upon the knowledge and integrity of the people
who advise customers – and are their first, and most important, point of contact. At the IRDA, our goal is to see life
insurers increasingly able to attract, motivate and retain outstanding people, committed to providing a ‘needs-based’
approach to financial advice.
This new coursebook, and the revised qualification that agents now sit, is a vital part of our strategy. We have developed
a syllabus that is challenging in its scope and depth. It does not simply encourage agents to memorise facts and
figures. This is important, but insufficient. It also tests their understanding of learning, and ability to apply it in a wide
range of practical real-life situations.
I am grateful to the Chartered Insurance Institute for their extensive support for this work. We have benefitted greatly
from their experience in other markets. I am also thankful to many other industry practitioners who have given their time
and expertise to develop this material.
Above all, I acknowledge you, the aspiring professional, for embarking on this journey, and taking seriously the need
for professional study. Without you, there would be no future for this important marketplace. I trust you will find this
coursebook of great value for your studies, and send my best wishes for your future as a life agent.
This document provides a daily summary of news from March 1-6, 2015. It covers various topics including:
- Sports events like Federer winning Dubai Open and Nadal winning Argentina Tennis Open.
- Appointments of ambassadors, government secretaries, and heads of organizations like BCCI.
- Economic initiatives by countries like China's Silk Road infrastructure project.
- Passing of bills in India's Lok Sabha related to insurance, coal mining, and motor vehicles.
- RBI reducing repo rate and agreeing to inflation targeting monetary policy framework.
The document summarizes several news stories from India:
1) The BJP and PDP parties in Jammu and Kashmir finalized a deal to form a coalition government, with PDP holding the chief minister position and BJP the deputy chief minister.
2) Tributes were paid to veteran communist leader Govind Pansare who passed away from bullet injuries.
3) For the first time, two women pilots are part of the Sarang helicopter formation team performing at the Aero India air show.
4) The State Bank of India will provide 100 crore rupees in financing to benefit 3,000 small tea growers in Northeast India.
India told the UN that poverty eradication and child care should be the central goals for the post-2015 development agenda. Anil Goswami was removed as home secretary in India. HDFC Bank raised close to Rs. 10,000 crore through a share sale, making it the largest such fund raising by a private sector entity in India. India ranked low on the US Chamber of Commerce's Global Intellectual Property Center index due to issues such as patentability requirements and lack of IP rights for the life sciences sector.
The document summarizes key points from the Indian Union Budget 2015, including no changes to the Direct Tax Code, increased exemptions for individual taxpayers up to Rs. 4,44,200, and a 2% cess on services for the Swachh Bharat initiative. It also outlines a three-point plan to realize the 'Make in India' campaign through regulatory reforms, industrial policy subsidies, and special economic zones. Additional sections cover farmer support programs, the swearing in of a new Supreme Court justice, and the celebration of National Science Day in India.

If you are tense for some reason, know that you are caught in the rut of unconsciousness. A spiritual seeker should wake up and relax. How can you relax till the situations change? Situations change only when you relax, look up, look within, and take refuge in the Mantra and repeat it with Love and trust in its infinite power to clear the fog of your mind and it Works!!
Each religion has its own powerful sounds that evoke the God in us. God is light. When you evoke the Light, dark forces that conspire sitting in your own mind cannot work. Unconsciousness creates the ground for the negative forces to work, and negative forces are dark, they are effective in darkness, they cannot tolerate light, can’t survive in light, so they always look for opportunities when we are off guard, a little slip from the state of consciousness and you are enveloped with dark forces!
They are not waiting outside of you to enter, they are right there inside of you in the subconscious layers of mind and till you have cleansed and purified your subconscious, they are with you like your own shadow.
Fear, anger, anxiety, tension, they are not only enemies; they are also the forces which create opportunities for all of us to rise to our Divine inheritance. If you have not gone through pain and bondage why should you ever try to rise or work to overcome them and transcend them?
Mantra is the mystic power, the tool for us to work with, the non-violent weapon to transform the diabolic forces into Divine Light and Love. Every faith tradition that has created enlightened Masters, have all used it, it is the Word, it is the Sound, and it is the primordial essence of all that is.
Never curse your negative weaknesses it only empowers them, they are mere reminders of your challenges of life. They are there, for you are born to work with them, through them, Beyond them. Yes, Mantra will do that miracle you are waiting to see in life!!

Mantra is the mystic power, the tool for us to work with, the non-violent weapon to transform the diabolic forces into Divine Light and Love. Every faith tradition that has created enlightened Masters, have all used it, it is the Word, it is the Sound, and it is the primordial essence of all that is.
Never curse your negative weaknesses it only empowers them, they are mere reminders of your challenges of life. They are there, for you are born to work with them, through them, Beyond them. Yes, Mantra will do that miracle you are waiting to see in life!!
If you are tense for some reason, know that you are caught in the rut of unconsciousness. A spiritual seeker should wake up and relax. How can you relax till the situations change? Situations change only when you relax, look up, look within, and take refuge in the Mantra and repeat it with Love and trust in its infinite power to clear the fog of your mind and it Works!!
Each religion has its own powerful sounds that evoke the God in us. God is light. When you evoke the Light, dark forces that conspire sitting in your own mind cannot work. Unconsciousness creates the ground for the negative forces to work, and negative forces are dark, they are effective in darkness, they cannot tolerate light, can’t survive in light, so they always look for opportunities when we are off guard, a little slip from the state of consciousness and you are enveloped with dark forces!
They are not waiting outside of you to enter, they are right there inside of you in the subconscious layers of mind and till you have cleansed and purified your subconscious, they are with you like your own shadow.
Fear, anger, anxiety, tension, they are not only enemies; they are also the forces which create opportunities for all of us to rise to our Divine inheritance. If you have not gone through pain and bondage why should you ever try to rise or work to overcome them and transcend them?
