Dear Sri Yarlagadda Prasanna Kumar,
Thanks for your mail.
The two courses are different;run by the respective departments. The PGDLAN is basically a LIS Course while PGDCA is an IT Course .

Besides, PGDLAN & PGDCA, another equivalent course is PGDLIM (Post Graduate Diploma in Digital Library & Information Management). Recently in India, already 4-5 institutions have introduced the PGDLIM course. They are all Post Graduate Diploma level courses which indicate that one should have Bachelor's degree to take admission in these courses. So, in this sense you can say they all are equivalent level of courses. To prove that you don't need to produce any notification because the level of programs is same.
But PGDLAN or PGDLIM is specialized LIS courses whereas PGDCA is a computer application program. So the course contents is completely different and their objective is also different.
