Under the joint guidance of Prof. (Dr.) Goutam Sanyal (Internal Guide) of National Institute of Technology, Durgapur and myself (External Guide), Sabyasachi Samanta has very recently been registered as a Part-time Research Scholar for Ph. D. in NIT-Durgapur. After my first scholar, Pranam Paul was awarded in 2010, Sabyasachi Samanta is only my second scholar. On behalf of both of his guides, I wish him a very successful completion of his research in the area related to Digital Watermarking and Steganography leading to the degree of Ph. D.
