TIme Zone error

Hi,

I want to set a specific Timezone for my R environment, with below syntax:
Sys.getenv("Asia/Calcutta")
[1] ""

But it sets to some blank timezone.

I checked with OlsonNames(), to see available zones for R, where I found
"Asia/Calcutta" available.

I idea why R failed to set timezone properly?

Thanks for your time.
Sys.setenv(TZ="US/Eastern")
as.POSIXlt("2019-01-26 01:19")
[1] "2019-01-26 01:19:00 EST"
Sys.setenv(TZ="Asia/Calcutta")
as.POSIXlt("2019-01-26 01:19")
[1] "2019-01-26 01:19:00 IST"

(Sys.getenv("Asia/Calcutta") returns the value of the environment variable
"Asia/Calcutta".  It does not set a value.)
