Copyright violation

 * I've deleted the "Mandate" section of the article, because it was nothing but a copy-paste from official website of the subject of the article (diff. link). User:Tachs, you may want to re-write the section in your own words to prevent copyright violation. Thank you. Anupmehra  - Let's talk!  19:59, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I would like your advice on writing vision, mission and mandate statements. I guess they are specifically worded statements issued by the organization; as such, is it prudent to change them? If you notice, I have written the rest of the article in my words, but left the mandate statements as they are, as I thought it was not appropriate to reword them.--jojo@nthony (talk) 06:26, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Rewritten the Mandate section. --jojo@nthony (talk) 07:15, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
