	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

City:  New Delhi

Explanation:

In the above program, we declare the package main. The main package is used to tell the Go language compiler that the package must be compiled and produced the executable file. Here, we imported the "fmt" package to use the Printf() function and we also imported the "os" package to use the Setenv() function.

In the main() function, we set the value of the City environment variable using Setenv() function and got the value of the environment using Getenv() function, and printed it on the console screen.
