MY Bharat Holds Walk for Nasha Mukt Yuva at 150 Sites

The correct answer is more than 150. MY Bharat and its partner organisations spread the Walk for Nasha Mukt Yuva across more than 150 locations in the country on that single day, and over one lakh youth and citizens joined in at those venues. That spread is what made the march a nationwide event rather than a city programme, and it is the figure an examiner would set a question on. More than 50 understates the reach badly, because a drive on that scale would not have brought out a crowd of more than one lakh people. More than 100 is closer but still short of the number recorded for the day. More than 250 overstates it: no such count was reported for this walk, and inflating the number would misstate the size of the mobilisation.

The correct answer is the Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat Abhiyan. The walk was organised as one activity within that abhiyan, which seeks to mobilise young people and communities against substance abuse through sustained awareness, wide participation and collective action. The campaign gives the march its name and its message, and the pledge taken at many venues belongs to the same drive. The Fit India Movement is a separate physical-fitness initiative and was not named as the parent campaign of this walk. Swachhata Hi Seva is a cleanliness campaign and has nothing to do with the anti-drug message carried by the marchers. Khelo India Abhiyan is about building sporting talent, so it too is the wrong parent for a programme whose whole purpose was awareness about the harm done by intoxicants.

The correct answer is MY Bharat. The walk was organised by MY Bharat together with its partner organisations, and the programme sits under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. MY Bharat is the platform through which the ministry reaches young volunteers, which is why the nationwide march, the youth-led activities around it and the pledge were run through it. The Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan is a different youth body and was not named as the organiser of this march. The National Service Scheme is a student volunteering programme and likewise was not credited with holding the walk. The Bharat Scouts and Guides is an independent youth movement and had no stated role as the organiser of the day, so all three alternatives are wrong.

The correct answer is 8. Among the public representatives who joined the walk at different venues were 8 Members of Parliament, along with 2 Lieutenant Governors, 1 Union Cabinet Minister and 8 Members of Legislative Assemblies. Note the symmetry an examiner is likely to exploit: the count of Members of Parliament and the count of Members of Legislative Assemblies were the same, while the number of Lieutenant Governors was 2 and only a single Union Cabinet Minister took part. Options 4 and 6 fall short of the recorded number of Members of Parliament, and 12 goes beyond it; none of these matches the participation reported for the day. Remembering the set together is easier than remembering each figure on its own.
