Ever since Independence, Modern India has had a strong focus on science and technology, realizing that it is a key element for economic and social growth. This led to the innovation of Mangalyaan.

The Mangalyaan is India’s first aircraft to Mars entered Mar’s Orbit on September 24, 2014. This made India the first Asian country and only the fourth country in the world to enter the Mars orbit in its first attempt.

However, the country’s first Solar Park came up at Charanka village in Gujarat in April 2012. They spread the park at Charanka across 5,000 acres and has 500 MW of generation capacity of both solar and wind energy.

We consider the Western Ghats as one of the eight “hottest hotspots” of biological diversity in the world. Also, the range starts from Gujarat and is approximately 1,600 km long and ends at the southern tip of India in Kanyakumari.

The area plays host to around 5,000 species of flowering plants, 139 mammal species, 508 bird species, 179 amphibian species, and 288 freshwater fish species.
