In this program, we will get the current date-time using Utc::Now() method, and then we will get the current year using the year() method and print.

Add Chrono date-time external library to your project

Create your project using the below command.
```
$cargo new datetime -bin
```
Goto the project folder cd datetime and edit Cargo.toml file.
```
$datetime>nano Cargo.toml
```
Then add dependency in Cargo.toml file
```
[dependencies]
chrono = "0.4"
```
After that, build your project using the below command
```
$datetime>cargo build
```
Then execute your project after modification in src/main.rs source file.
```
$datetime>cargo run
```

Current Year: 2021

Explanation:

In the above program, we imported the "Chrono" library to our project for performing date and time operations. We imported the Chrono library using the below line:

use chrono::prelude::*;

In the main() function, we got the current date and time using Utc::Now() method. Then we extracted the current year from date-time and printed the result.
