That is interesting. I've been trying to locate the villages on google maps with no luck. But both are in Odisha.

Looking for the blocks (administrative districts) Jharigam (Jharigaon) and Kashipur (Kasipur) on google maps shows the two main towns about 40-50 miles apart with Kasipur SE of Jharigaon. Be sure to specify Odisha.

Rayagada lies about 50 miles east of Nabarangpur (Nowrangpur).

I see Jharigam has a college. I wonder if they are large enough to take international students or if it is local only.
