In her own words:

This year PG Cult did not see as much enthusiasm as it saw last year from IEOR.

Nevertheless, we still did participated in the Phase II of PG Cult 2012, and our PhD student Anirban Ghatak bagged the first prize for photography and this is consecutively for the third time he managed to bag the first prize in PG Cult Photography Competition.
