V2 Project (2022-Present)

(Cross-Cultural Exchange between Vellulla (rural) & Vadodara (city), India)

V2 is an intercultural exchange project between Vadodara (City) and Vellulla (Village). Vadodara city is in Gujarat, the western part of India. Vellulla village is in Telangana state, the southern part of India. This project’s main objective is to help both communities understand various perspectives within their world and eliminate negative stereotypes and personal biases about different communities regardless of race, gender, and caste. Both communities will be able to have cross-cultural dialogues with local communities respectively. I have shared my life between these two places in India. I was born in Vellulla, where Prayogillu is located. I lived in Vadodara for over a decade after graduate school, from 2007-20. This intercultural experience changed the way I look at the world. Every year (since 2022), there is one exchange between the two disparities communities to build friendships (visit for more details: https://www.prayogillu.org/v2-project)
