Nasha Mukt Yuva Quiz Draws 28,876 Participants

The online Nasha Mukt Yuva, Viksit Bharat Quiz had drawn 28,876 citizens as of 13 November 2026, the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment said. The quiz was launched on 26 October 2026 under the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan (NMBA) and will stay open for entries until 25 November 2026.

How the quiz works

• It is hosted on the MY Bharat portal and is open to every citizen.
• A participant answers 20 multiple-choice questions within 10 minutes.
• A participation certificate is generated once the quiz is submitted successfully.
• Correct answers can be viewed after finishing, so that a participant learns from the attempt.

The campaign behind it

The Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan was launched on 15 August 2020 and has now entered its seventh year. It began in 272 vulnerable districts and has since been widened to cover every district in the country. Its method rests on preventive education, awareness, treatment, rehabilitation and the participation of the community rather than on enforcement alone.

Reach of the campaign

The numbers show how wide the drive has been pushed. Treatment and rehabilitation for close to forty lakh persons has run through a network of departmental de-addiction centres, while the pledge and the Nasha Mukti Mitra volunteer roll have been the main tools for drawing ordinary citizens in.

Why a quiz

The Ministry said the quiz is meant to deepen public understanding of the harm caused by substance use, encourage informed choices and turn young people into ambassadors of prevention in their own circles. It frames a drug-free India as a condition for a developed India, on the view that healthy individuals, families and communities are what carry a country's development forward.
