BHADLA SOLAR PARK

Bhadla Solar Park is the largest solar park in
the world as of 2022 and is spread over a total
area of 5,700 hectares in Bhadla, Phalodi
tehsil, Jodhpur district, Rajasthan, India. The
park has a total capacity of 2245 MW.
INS VIKRANT
The park had witnessed the

lowest bid for solar power in
India as of December 2020 at
₹2.44 (3.1¢ US) per kilowatt-
hour.
INS VIKRANT
INS Vikrant (pronounced [vikrɑːnt̪] is an aircraft carrier constructed by the Cochin Shipyard Limited
(CSL) at Kerala for the Indian Navy. It is the first aircraft carrier to be built in India. It is named Vikrant
as a tribute to India's first aircraft carrier, INS Vikrant (1961). The name Vikrant means "courageous" in
Sanskrit.[19] The motto of the ship, "जयेम सं युधिस्पृधः"(Sanskrit), means "I defeat those who fight against
me”
NavIC is a regional navigation satellite system built by India for India. It’s designed by ISRO for
accurate real-time positioning, timing services, and messaging. Basically, it’s an alternative to GPS
(Global Positioning System) which is developed and run by the US. The prime difference between
NavIC and GPS is that the former is built primarily for India including some neighboring countries
whereas GPS (US) offers coverage of all regions around the globe.
The reason India built its own navigation system is to limit its over-reliance on US technologies. Other
countries have already deployed their own navigation satellite systems and now India has made NavIC
operational after 7 years of rigorous testing and development.
HIGHEST MOTARABLE ROAD
Umling La Pass, located at an altitude of 19,300ft, has overtaken Khardung La
Pass to become the highest motorable road in the world. The construction of
this road had been in the making for some time. This seemingly impossible feat
has been achieved by the BRO (Border Road Organization) as part of “Project
Himank”. If you thought you have seen all that Ladakh has to offer in terms of
adventure, wait till you come across Umling La Pass. Driving on the Umling La
Pass, as well as the route to Umling La Pass, is an experience quite special in
itself.
The Vande Bharat Express, previously known as Train 18, is a semi-high-
speed, electric multiple unit train operated by the Indian Railways on 5
routes as of November 2022. It was designed and manufactured by the
Integral Coach Factory (ICF) at Perambur, Chennai under the Make in India
initiative

prime minister Narendra Modi. The

dedicated to deities Surya, Ganesha,
Shiva, Durga, Vishnu and Brahma.
The Statue of Unity is the
world's tallest statue, with a
height of 182 metres (597 feet),
[3] located near Kevadia in the
state of Gujarat, India. It depicts
Indian statesman and
independence activist

minister and home minister of
independent India and an
adherent of Mahatma Gandhi.

princely states of India to form
