A university or school prospectus is a document sent to potential (prospective) students to attract them to apply for admissions. It usually contains information about the institution and the available courses, including advice on how to apply and the benefits of accepting a place. Since you are a part of the Institute and the publication of your picture was used just to share information and environment of the institute to the potential students and with a bonafide intention then there is no legal action you can take. If you would not have been a part of the institute and they would have published your picture in the prospectus then you could have initiated criminal proceedings against the institute.
