Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The 'Gandhi Solar Park' is located at the United Nations (UN) headquarters in New York. It was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 25, 2019, to commemorate the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. The solar park consists of 193 solar panels, each representing a member state of the United Nations, and has a total capacity of 50 kW. This initiative was a gift from India to the UN, symbolizing the country's commitment to renewable energy and the enduring relevance of Gandhian principles in the contemporary world. During the same visit, a postage stamp of Mahatma Gandhi was launched, and a Gandhi Peace Garden was inaugurated at the State University of New York campus. While India and Bhutan collaborate on various energy projects, including solar initiatives in Thimphu, the specific 'Gandhi Solar Park' is a landmark installation in New York.
