Since its inception in September 2012, the club has indeed boasted about teaching young dentists in the offing to find a fine balance between their clinical acumen and the flame of going click-click with the camera. It has conducted a plethora of activities all throughout, some of them being Club Logo Design and Naming Competition, Workshop on Basic Photography skills by Mr. Jaswinder, Photography contest during Annual Week College Celebration and a Webpage on Flickr and Facebook, with a monthly theme based competition. The winner each month gets to choose the theme for the next month’s competition.
