Dear Sri Vasudevan,

There was advertisement regarding PDGLAN course in newspapers. Hyderabad Regional Center is not included in the list of contact addresses mentioned therein. Does it mean that students from AP can not participate? Kindly clarify. I have been an academic counsellor for IGNOU MLibSc for the past several years. Thanks.
