Show Solution

The Correct Option is C

Approach Solution - 1

This is a current-affairs fact about India's space diplomacy with its neighbours. Reviewing each country in turn:

  1. Maldives: A partner in maritime and radar cooperation with India, but not the site of this ISRO tracking centre.
  2. Sri Lanka: Benefits from India's regional satellite services, yet the specific facility named in the question was not built there.
  3. Bhutan: This is where ISRO established its Satellite Tracking and Data Reception Centre, a step that deepened India-Bhutan space cooperation.
  4. Nepal: Also a beneficiary of Indian satellite outreach, but not the location of this particular centre.

Bhutan is the country that actually hosts this ISRO ground station among the four listed.

The correct answer is Bhutan.

Approach Solution -2

Each of the four neighbouring countries benefits from a different form of Indian space assistance, so ruling out the ones whose cooperation is NOT a ground tracking station narrows the answer quickly.

  1. Maldives: Its cooperation with India is built around coastal radar and surveillance networks for security purposes, which is a different category of project from a satellite tracking centre, ruling it out.
  2. Sri Lanka: Its link to Indian space efforts comes through shared satellite communication services rather than a physical ground station built on its territory, ruling it out as well.
  3. Nepal: India's support here has focused on capacity-building and data access rather than constructing a dedicated tracking facility, so it too falls outside the category the question is asking about.
  4. Bhutan: Once the other three are ruled out for being different kinds of cooperation, Bhutan remains as the one country where ISRO actually built a physical Satellite Tracking and Data Reception Centre.

Eliminating the countries whose cooperation takes a different form leaves Bhutan as the only true match.

Therefore, the correct answer is Bhutan.
