Lal Anand College. As the Delhi Regional Centre was rechristened as IGNOU Regional
Centre-I in 1998, the study centre consequently came under the Regional Centre I. However,
with the establishment of IGNOU Delhi Regional Centre-III, Dwarka in 2008, the study
centre has come under the then newly created regional centre. The study centre has come a
long way and in the year 2015, the study centre has been rechristened as IGNOU Study Centre-
