Which village is described as India's first Surya Gram, or solar village?

  1. A.Mana, Uttarakhand
  2. B.Modhera, Gujarat
  3. C.Jharkhali, West Bengal
  4. D.Bagori, Uttarakhand

Correct answer

B. Modhera, Gujarat

Explanation

The correct answer is Modhera in Gujarat, which runs entirely on solar energy and is held up as a model of sustainability. Modhera is better known for its Sun Temple, raised by King Bhimdev the First in 1025 and attacked the very next year, when Mahmud of Ghazni also pulled down the Somnath temple; it hosts a dance festival every January after Makar Sankranti. Option A, Mana in Chamoli, is the village called the country's first village, where the census count in Uttarakhand began with 83-year-old Purnima Rawat. Option D, Bagori in Uttarkashi, is where a homestay owner filed his own census details digitally. Option C, Jharkhali in the Sundarbans, is where widowed women raise mangrove forests that protect their villages and earn them a living. Each of the three is a real place from the same address, which is exactly why they work as distractors.
