Originally from Kovalam, in rural southern India, and coming from a disadvantaged background, Prabakaran A. has neverthelss achieved an exceptional academic and professional journey. A former Cuomo Foundation scholar, he now holds the coveted position of Deputy Director of Urban Planning within the Government of Tamil Nadu State.

The young Prabakaran has forged an exemplary path to date. His latest achievement is his participation in the Re.Generation summer campus held in Monaco last June.

Organized by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation (FPA2), with the financial support of the Cuomo Foundation, the Re.Generation project aims to transform today's young activists and intellectuals into leaders in their respective fields.

Here is an interview conducted at the Foundation's headquarters during his visit to the Principality to participate in this event.
